*Need* a recipe for Chocolate logs...

[Calluna]

Does anyone know what those chocolate cake logs covered in coconut are called- kind of like a rumball but cylindrical and no rum lol- and how I can make them at home?

Thanks

My fave

You need : coconut, weetbix, condensed milk in a can and cocoa

Crush weetbix between your hands, I use 12. Mix in the whole can of milk, a tablespoon and a bit of cocoa, and mix it together

Wash hands very messy

Then roll into logs ( you can use baking paper to help you roll) or balls.

Coat with coconut and chill to set

Delicious, I need more coconut before I can make some

Yummo! Thanks. Cant wait to try it.

We make these in balls, using choc ripple or arrowroot biccies instead of weetbix. Yummy

wayyyy OT but the first thing I thought of was my thread the other day about fishing a 'log' out of the bathtub...

I'm sure yours will taste a million times better

my chocolate logs are fine. It's the "special" chocolate logs with the secret ingredient you have to watch out for. :P

Thanks for your help I made them this afternoon with M2R's recipe except with marie biscuts. They turned out great and were a hit with the family.
Had to improvise a bit, I discovered we dont have a rolling pin so I used a ladel to smash up the biscuts. While theraputic, it is not the quietest, most efficient way to do it, and rolling the logs was a sticky experience lol

great recipe for slightly older kids to get involved with though. Simple, yummy and fun (and super messy. Haha).
