Serves 30| Hands-On Time: 30m | Total Time: 1hr 30m

Ingredients

  • pint vanilla ice cream
  • 10 malt balls, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • Heath bars, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • PayDay bars, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 10 ounces white chocolate

Directions

  1. Line 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. Freeze for 10 minutes. Remove 1 sheet.
  2. Using a melon baller, scoop the ice cream to form 1-inch balls and place on sheet. Return sheet to freezer. Repeat this process with second sheet. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes.
  3. Arrange the chopped malt balls, Heath bars, and PayDays on small plates. Working with 1 baking sheet at a time, roll the ice cream balls in the toppings, using your hands to gently press in the toppings. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  4. For the white chocolate truffles, melt the chocolate in a bowl in a microwave or in the top of a double boiler. Dip the chilled balls, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Remove with a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Quick Tip

Vanilla ice cream
There are great non-dairy alternatives that can be substituted for ice cream in all these recipes. Try the vanilla from Turtle Mountain Purely Decadent Soy Delicious; it has the richness of ice cream without the dairy.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
