Another unsuccessful baking today, a supposedly chocolate swiss roll suddenly turned into choco-almoni balls!
Boy, i'm so disappointed with myself, yet proud that i've finally learnt the skill of 'recycling', instead of being wasteful like how i used to once a upon a time.
What happened was i overbaked the thin chocolate sponge cake, and it turned out a bit harder than normal. Because of this, the cake became unsuitable for rolling as a swiss roll (as cake may crack or tear apart once rolled). Initially, i thought of reusing it to make a blueberry torte (with whipping cream and blueberry), but pity, the cake wasn't enough for this 3-layer thingy.
Just few days ago, i had came across something on cheese pops, or cheesecake scooped as balls and rolled onto chocolate, nuts, coconut etc. I thought they look like chocolate truffles (apart from the stick part), and that was how i got the idea: choco balls!
Of course me being me, i started searching around the house for goodies that would be suitable with the cake crumbs while Hubby busily jogged around the living room with his indoor Nike shoes and his four eyes focusing on the tv (just wondering how much calorie can he burn by doing that :-S).
Finally got some almonds, cheerios, milk chocolate, and blueberry sweetened milk, i quickly rolled them into cupcake size balls and decorated as shown before refrigerating.
Just in case you are wondering why i call them choco-almoni, i actually thought this name sounds cute for a combination of chocolate and almond.
To be perfect honest, I'm not sure if they actually taste good (not to mention my super low confidence level towards them), so i got mom in law to give out to her friends' kids since children being children wouldn't know the difference between delicious and yucky when comes to sweet and very chocolatey desserts...agreeable?
