Does anyone have a recipe for truffles to use up broken biscuits?

? I have about 2lb left over from Christmas. TIA

Make Tiffin!

Search the mumsnet archives for a recipe. I'm too lazy to look for one or type it out!

this is what you're looking for?

not quite but thanx anyway. i've a bag of allsorts like custard creams and the like, thought truffles were a good way of using them up...

Pound them up as fine as you can and then mix in some butter and icing sugar (don't know how much, as I don't know how much biscuitery you've got, but use your intuition - roughly equal quantities of sugar/butter) until you have a mixture the consistency of firm dough. If you don't like a strong buttery taste, replace some or all of it with double cream or add a little water instead. If you accidentally make the mixture too wet, keep adding icing sugar and mixing until it feels right. Then roll into little balls, roll in icing sugar/coconut/cocoa/chocolate strands and place in petit four cases.

For variation you can mix other stuff in at the mixing stage - peppermint/almond essence, brandy, chocolate/cocoa, cinnamon, whatever you like really.

HTH!!

HTH?? You've made my day! Mouth watering like billy-o, I'm off to the kitchen! Thanks. Will report when appropriate. Or pop round with a tupperware full!

Have just made a batch and they are yummy!! Can anyone tell me after they've been in the fridge for setting do they then stay in the fridge until eaten or go in an airtight container?

airtight container is OK but eat them within a few days.... if you want to keep them longer you can freeze them.

Ha! Why would you want to keep them??? That's like keeping an opened bottle of wine!!! Eat the truffles, drink the wine!!! Haven't made mine yet however,...

Simplest one I know is:

Broken up buiscuits on the bottom
warm jelly over it
Cool in the fridge
Once cooled, make dream topping and custard (or buy custard)
Put custard on top of jelly and dream topping on top of custard.
Leave in fridge for 15 mins. - eat.
