  • Pumpkin: 1/2 small pumpkin or butternut squash, deseeded, to stand pops in
  • Milk Chocolate: 100g bar milk chocolate, melted
  • White Chocolate: 200g bar white chocolate, melted
  • Smarties: few Smarties and icing pens, to decorate
  • Wooden Skewer: 10 wooden skewers
  • Madeira Cake: 100g/4oz madeira cake
  • Cookie: 100g Oreo cookie

Directions

  1. Break the Madeira cake and cookies into the bowl of a food processor, pour in the melted milk chocolate and whizz to combine.
  2. Tip the mixture into a bowl, then use your hands to roll into about 10 walnut-sized balls. Chill for 2 hrs until really firm.
  3. Push a skewer into each ball, then carefully spoon the white chocolate over the cake balls to completely cover.
