The days seem to be moving too quickly for me at the moment. The weather has been lovely in Melbourne with warm sunny days which naturally sends me outside with the boys. So, as the spring time weather draws us into parks and playgrounds I have less planning, shopping, cooking and videoing time. Well, not exactly. My oldest son, and budding Chef, does convince me to set up and help him make something for dessert or for afternoon tea. Funny really, he is 4 and a half and he now gets my 19 month old to agree to all manner of things but if cooking is one of them my little baby seems more than happy to join in. He now takes out various pots and bowls from draws he can reach and takes his space at the table ready to conduct some very serious taste testing of ingredients and mixtures.
As soon as I start gathering ingredients the kids come running to the kitchen and decide to take over so…I let them.
Here is their video making Chocolate Balls (Truffles) with dates and walnuts. Otherwise known as Chocolate balls كرات الشوكولاتة – My way!!

It is similar to the Chocolate balls كرات الشوكولاتة my mum would make but she would use cake crumbs instead of the biscuit and eliminate the nuts and dates.

Left over vanilla coconut cake (one or two days old). This was her recipe so will post it up after I get a video of it sometime. In the mean time any cake will do.
Mix everything together (except the coating ingredients) and roll into balls the size of whole walnuts. Roll into nuts, coconut or sprinkles and serve.
