    ......it's surprisingly delicious.

    Licorice Allsorts Slice

    1 pkt Marie biscuits crushed
    1 Cup coconut
    250gms Licorice Allsorts
    125 gms butter
    1 Tblspn Golden Syrup
    half tin Condensed milk

    Cut Licorice Allsorts into 6 (in half then in three), Put crushed biscuits
    into a bowl along with the Licorice Allsorts and the coconut. Melt butter,
    golden syrup and the condensed milk in a saucepan until butter is melted.
    Add butter mix to crushed biscuit mix and mix well. Line a slice pan with
    paper, pour in mix and press down. Can be topped with chocolate icing, but
    why bother?

    Okay, I'll bite! :-)

    Do these things have to be served from the fridge, or do they hold up
    at room temperature? Could they be moulded into smallish balls
    (about the size of one of those large marbles) that will hold shape
    and not get too messy at room temp?

    [I'm looking for alternatives to conventional rum balls that don't
    involve baking or whatever -- so other practical alternatives also
    welcome!]

    Addendum:

    A few years ago I made some "rum balls" based on a packet (250 g) of
    crumbled shortbread biscuits, butter, cocoa, adequate rum, and ???

    Regretably, I can't remember the details and I seem to have lost the
    secret instructions (along with my treasure maps etc. 🙂 but the tour
    de force was to make each ball by wrapping the mix around a glace
    cherry. I think pieces of confectionary ginger would work too.

    Cheers, Phred.

    Thanks for the pointers, Peter. I would never have thought of using
    "truffles" as a key in a Google search for the things! My culinary
    vocabulary is sadly deficient. :-(

    Cheers, Phred.

    Latest Super Food Ideas mag has a whole section on 'truffles'. I saw, first
    hand, how easy they were to make at the Good Food and Wine Show, where I
    was able to have a long chat with the lovely Kim Cloverdale (it helps when
    you have a relative who works at the mag :-).

    I'm going to be making a load of them for presents etc, and should be
    starting them this afternoon.

    The recipes are on page 41&42 (on the reverse side of the magazine)

    I'm going to be doing #4, #5, #8, and #9.

    Rum and raisin,
    Glace cherry,
    Coffee, and
    Toffee
