Instructions

Method 1
Using a microwaveable mug (make sure the handles don't get hot) place about 50g chocolate in pieces, in each mug and heat on half heat in the microwave until only just melted. (Hint, make sure there is no water in the mug or on any spoons as this curdles the chocolate). Ensure the extra thick double cream is very cold, and add a heaped teaspoon to each mug. The cubs can mix vigorously with a spoon, and the mixture should become stiff. Leave to one side while the cubs place some grated white chocolate onto a small plate. Using two teaspoons, make 'quenelles' of chocolate and roll in the white chocolate. Place into the mini cake cases to set properly.

Method 2
1. Melt the butter or sunflower spread in pan over a low heat and leave to cool for a few minutes, but not solidify.
2. Place the digestive biscuits in the food bag, seal the opening and crush them with the rolling pin.
3. Mix all the ingredients in the saucepan.
4. Grease the baking tray, pour the mixture on to it and spread it out to fill the tray.
5. Divide the mixture into squares of about 3 cm with the butter knife.
6. Place the tray i the fridge for a few hours.
7. Wash your hands.
8. Take the squares and roll each of them into a ball.
9. Place the decorations of your choice on a plate and roll the truffles on them to coat the completely.
10. Place each truffle in petit four case
