Cocoa Shells
Cocoa Shells
After Milk Toffees, I think Cocoa Shells is my other Christmas favourite sweet treat. It is very similar to a chocolate fudge and extremely delicious. If you are a Chocolate lover this should definitely be on your Christmas platter. Other than that you can always make this fudgy Choco balls and enjoy them! This is a very simple recipe and the only time consuming part is stirring of the Chocolate mixture to its right consistency.
