Ok, so most people might know these as yum yum balls, rum balls or even truffles.
At Fangorn farm we call the reindeer poop. Some cheeky children even roll them into turd-like shapes for that extra giggle factor [eye-roll].
These are really easy and quick to make, especially if you have a food processor/blender to make the biscuit crumbs. Children love to roll them and they are a fun little recipe to make in the lead up to Christmas. Our children have gifted these before; they look nice presented in a cellophane bag or a little Christmas dish.
And they’re yummy…
And addictive!
