A great recipe for shared camping food - doesn't need cooking.

This will interest very few but I have decided to post these recipes on the blog because when I am away I can access what I need. We have get togethers and sometimes you need to prepare dessert style items or goodies for afternoon or morning teas. This one requires no cooking and the items are easily transported. I used only 125 grams of choc bits which meant I could make 2 batches. There was plenty of chocolate.

Chocolate Coconut Balls

Ingredients
250gram packet Milk Coffee or Marie biscuits.
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa
150 grams choc bits
395 gram can sweetened condensed milk

2. Shape level teaspoons of mixture into balls and roll in coconut
3. Lay in single layer on plate, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight until firm.
