I know I said I wasn't going to post everyday and I'm fairly certain I won't but my lovely dad found the mini cake cases I was searching for and I decided to post up my second Quirkmas post!
I also thought about calling it bakemas - I'm just winging it now.
Someone I know took this recipe from pinterest and I messed
It's a totally customisable recipe and there are plenty of variations online if you don't fancy the ingredients in this one.
Homemade Ferrero Rocher
I'll get straight to the ingredients because it really annoys me when I have to scroll through endless paragraphs to get to the ingredients......
1 Bar of Cooking Chocolate (Melted)
- I opted for dark chocolate because it contained no dairy, use any kind you fancy. You could also use chocolate spread.
2 Bars of Weetabix (Crushed)
Blanched Hazelnuts (Dipped in Chocolate)
- If you cannot have nuts, the hazelnuts aren't essential, I just added them for experimentation.

My ingredients are also essentially the instructions!
1. Crush the weetabix in a bowl - I used a wooden spoon to crush it, feel free to use the utensil of your choice!
2. Melt the chocolate - I opted for melting on the stove with a low heat, feel free to use the microwave!
3. Add the melted chocolate to the crushed weetabix bowl and mix until all of the weetabix is covered.
If using hazelnuts,Leave a small amount of melted chocolate behind.

4. If you are not using hazelnuts, take a spoonful of your mixture and place it into your small cake cases and repeat this process until your mixture/supply of cake cases is complete!
Using Hazelnuts
5. Dip a hazelnut into the leftover melted chocolate and then begin to assemble your chocolte and weetabix mix around your hazelnut. When you are happy with your assembled piece, place it in one of your small cake cases.
6. Repeat this process until your mixture/supply of cake cases is complete.
When you have finished
7. Place your small cake cases on a tray and place the tray in the fridge.
8. Leave your Ferroro Rocher in the fridge until set - mine took about 20 minutes to set, it may vary for others.
9. Enjoy!
My batch certanly do not look elegant and they probably aren't a patch on the real thing but they are very tasty!
The hardest part was the concentration it took to assemble them without dropping them!
Judges Verdict
Me: "A bit rich but yummy!"
Mum: "A success story!"
Aunt Lynda: "They are lovely, bring some on Christmas Day"I may add other judges as I share them out! 😂
