Add the butter, chocolate, cocoa, sugar and milk to the crumbs and mix well, until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.

💡A dry mixture that crumbles when pressed gets a little more milk, and one that's too wet a few more crumbs.
4
Put the mixture in the fridge for 20–30 minutes, until it is easy to shape into balls.

5
With damp hands, shape balls the size of a marble and coat each ball in Coconut.
💡Damp hands don't stick to the mixture, and the balls come out smooth and round.
6
Return the balls to the fridge for a few hours, until they firm up.
