Homemade savoury biscuits are great to serve to visitors with cheese, dips etc. instead of bought biscuits. I make cheese and sesame ones and chicken ones, but I think I’ll give these French Onion ones a try.

I was watching an English TV program the other night where the family ate lots of expensive bought snacks. The aim of the program is to cut the amount a family spends at the supermarket and to eat more healthily. The presenter showed them how to make Muesli Bars for a fraction of the cost of bought snacks. That reminded me of this old recipe from Mum’s Keysborough Bowls cookbook. Worth trying??

The ingredients in these Russian Balls sound quite yummy, but I am a bit perplexed by the name. The recipe says to cut them into squares before you roll them in coconut or mixed chopped nuts, surely that would make them Russian Squares!! Mind you I don’t think it matters in the least, balls or squares, they’ll taste great either way.

Last week I made three different sweet treats – rum balls, chocolate fruit balls and white chocolate, lemon and almond balls – for our family Christmas get together. I’ve been making them for years and they’ve become somewhat of a family tradition. I’m thinking that maybe next year I’ll try these chocolate coconut drops as well and see what the family thinks of them.
