Instructions: Break the chocolate into a bowl and when melted, stir in the condensed milk and butter. Mix in the biscuits and coconut, add the flavouring and stir well so that there are no white patches. Place in the fridge until the mixture is firm enough to handle, then divide into 12-14 even-sized pieces and roll into balls. Press half a cherry on to the front of each one and a piece of Flake at the other end for a tail. If liked, make a beak from pieces of Button. Lift into paper cases and leave in a cool place to harden Completely

. Cooks tip: Using broken biscuits from the bottom of the tin adds interest to the recipe and means that it will be slightly different each time it is made, but they must be crushed really finely.

NOTES : Making these delicious treats would be a fun activity for the younger members of the family as the excitement of the build up to Christmas mounts.
