    Festive season is coming up and we are ready to celebrate with some delicious sweets and savory snacks. 

    Making Indian sweets is often considered a long drawn process. There are some complex ingredients and procedures. But some sweets are easy to make REALLY quickly with a handful of ingredients.

    These truffles are just PERFECT for any celebration. They are an adaptation of a recipe my grandmother and mom made every Diwali. However, they always made these by eyeballing the ingredients. I finally documented it with measured out ingredients. 

    The recipe that inspired this was originally in the magazine that came home each festive season sponsored by Milk-Maid; a popular Indian condensed milk brand. It is at least 30 years old; and my family has been making it ever since.  However, the taste and addiction for it is still the same.

    What are Marie Biscuit Chocolate Truffles?

    This version of truffles is an instant, no-cook and delicious one.

    Marie Biscuits are a popular type of Indian tea time biscuits. They taste great with some masala chai and moreover, they work GREAT in this recipe.

    Because these biscuits are soft, we can process them quickly. We mix the crushed biscuit with condensed milk, cocoa powder and then roll them into tight balls. Though it looks simple, this combination is SO good and super addictive.

    I like to roll these truffles in various toppings of nuts and chocolate. However, they taste amazing even without the toppings.

    A great sweet for any celebration or dessert table, these truffles have been my favorite for years and finally they are on the blog.

    These Easy Biscuit Chocolate Truffles

    • Given these are no cook, they come together really fast.
    • These are easy to customize based on preferences and dietary requirements. Add some more nuts, leave out the chocolate, do as you like! However, I would recommend using the ingtrdients as mentioned in the recipe below.
    • Marie Truffles are great for dessert or to give as edible gifts. Plus, I love bringing them over in a fancy box or tray for the hostess!
    • Work great for involving kids in the kitchen. My toddler loves to see his biscuits get converted to something so delicious.

    As we make these truffles with biscuits, condensed milk and chocolate, keep them in the refrigerator to preserve freshness. However, remove them from the refrigerator a few minutes before serving.

    I like to make these Marie truffles in advance. They make a great addition to any dessert table or sweet box.

    What you need 

    Ingredients for Easy Marie Chocolate Truffles

    Marie Biscuits: A popular brand of Indian biscuits, Marie Biscuits is my preferred one for this recipe.

    Light colored soft biscuits, these are a great canvas to infuse the flavors of your choice. However, using graham crackers or any type of digestive biscuits is a great idea too.

    Sweetened Condensed Milk: I like to use Condensed Milk to sweeten the truffles. 

    Some versions use milk and sugar instead, but I have not tried that. I always use condensed milk to make it super quick.

    Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder is used in the recipe. As it is super fine it mixes well with the ingredients. It also adds a hint of chocolate to the recipe. 

    Almond: Adding some crunch to the truffles is almond meal. Make it instantly by processing some almonds or buy it from the store. 

    Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Shredded chocolate is added to the truffles. This adds some more chocolate flavor to the balls. However, they can be left out if you like.

    Toppings: A variety of toppings work in the recipe. I have used shredded coconut, pistachio, edible silver varakh and shredded chocolate. 

    These make the truffles delicious and give some crunch to them.

    Tips and Notes

    • Use any soft biscuit or cracker that crumbles well. Having large bits will not result in smooth truffles.
    • Adjust the condensed milk if you switch the biscuits for a sweeter version.
    • These truffles are great when rolled in nut meals or chocolate. They can be dipped in melted chocolate too. 
    • Refrigerate the truffles till a few minutes before serving.
