GINGER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Pulverize the biscuits in your food processor until fine crumbs.
• Add the ginger and process 30 seconds, re-arrange and process another 30 seconds.
• Add the chocolate, broken into small pieces, and process until it all comes together in a tacky ball.
• Spread on a tray and refrigerate until you can easily roll it into small balls.
• Put the balls on baking paper, and return to fridge overnight.
• Melt the extra chocolate and dip each ginger ball to coat, refrigerate until hardened.
• NOTE ADDED: I just made these using ginger seconds from the ginger factory, and because these bit were smaller, there was more sugar in the mix, and I found I had to add 100g chocolate to make it come together. I also had to take the mix out and re-mix in 2 lots.
