Advantages: Easy and simple to make, sweet treat, contains chocolate, can make with kids.

Disadvantages: It not healthy

I have to admit I'm not really fond of some Indian sweets as I know its made with all that sugar and ghee, but if it has chocolate in there somewhere then I'm really tempted. I like these ladoos as it involves no ghee at all. I don't know what it is about ghee but I refuse to eat anything with ghee in at all.

I guess these chocolate coconut ladoos would be like a Bounty bar except its appearance would be little round balls with a nutty flavour to it. These are easy to make and maybe the kids could help. The only cooking involved is melting the chocolate, so enjoy.

Chocolate coconut ladoos

Ingredients:
125g of chocolate
2-3 tablespoons condensed milk
30g Walnuts, crushed
190g Desiccated coconut
75g Almonds, coarsely ground

Method:

1. Break the chocolate up and melt in a bowl fitted over a saucepan of hot water.

2. Take 150g of desiccated coconut in a bowl. Add almond powder and walnut powder and mix.

3. Take the melted chocolate and whisk with a spoon till smooth. Add it to the coconut mixture.

4. Add two tablespoons of condensed milk and mix well. You may feel you need to add one more tablespoon of condensed milk if it is not likely to bind together well.

5. Shape into small balls. Roll them in the leftover desiccated coconut and serve.

Summary: Bit like Bounty
