Christmas Mint Slice Balls

Step 1

Crush the Mint Slice biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Place into a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the softened cream cheese and mix until combined.

Step 3

Roll the mixture into heaped teaspoon-sized balls and place onto a baking paper lined tray. Place into the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil (optional) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second bursts for 2-3 minutes, stirring each time, until just melted. Use a bowl deep enough to dip cheesecake balls in.

Step 6

Carefully dip your mint slice cheesecake balls into the chocolate mixture with a fork (or two small spoons) and place back onto the tray - allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.

Place one red M&M and two spearmint leaf slithers onto the top of each of the balls.
