Chocolate biscuit balls or kadorei shokolad are a nostalgic favourite for most Israelis. They’ll make brilliant Chanukah gifts.

An Israeli friend was horrified at my suggestion of ‘biscoff-ifying’ them as she termed it, but with no associations from my (North London) childhood, I was free to reinvent the wheel – or ball.

If you’re not a Biscoff fan, the plainer tasting Petit Beurre cookie is the Israeli norm. And a note on the coloured coconut exterior — blue if fun but can (will) stain your hands and mouth. Children adore this unintentional decoration – grown ups, not so much. They still look at taste great coated in Biscoff crumbs or white coconut.
