My friend Aphrodite called me on the telephone . I hadn’t heard from her in ages. We were at University together and even though we don’t see each other very often, every time we speak it’s like no more than a day has gone by..

Anyway…So Aphrodite is the one who introduced me to the Scouts..you know the boy/girl scouts and the guides! I had started studying to become an instructor and had done two lots of training in Ksilokastro I remember..what we talked about I cannot remember but I do remember the walnut pie they gave us every morning even now….

Through Aphrodite I met the two Eleni’s, young and older, Mary, Tanta in Drama and of course Lefteris as well..they have all been significant people in my life and for that I will always be grateful to her. Besides this is not the first time I have mentioned her on my site..The previous time was when I made the raisins this year…:-)

She told me that she wanted a recipe to put in her newsletter that she could distribute to all the cubs, scouts and guides that even the youngest amongst them could prepare with their parents. She asked if I had an idea and I told her I would find something.

It is not that easy to find recipes that do not require actual cooking or baking and to be simple enough for young children to make.

Truffles however usually fulfil those requirements…

Therefore I thought of a recipe that would be easy with few ingredients that anyone could make.

The ingredients are basically, only three. Almonds crushed, coconut and condensed milk. Of course you could elaborate on the original but they are good for a start!

Let’s see what we need..
