At a glance

You're making delightful honey cake balls by baking some simple flat cakes, turning them into crumbs, and mixing them with a caramel-butter filling. The trickiest part? You'll need to chill the mixture for two hours before shaping to make rolling the balls easier, so plan ahead if you're making these as last-minute Christmas cookies.

About this recipe

I tried these cookies at a friend's place last year and absolutely loved them. All you need to do is bake a few not-so-pretty flat cakes, blitz them into crumbs, mix with caramel condensed milk and roll into balls. Easy, right? And they taste amazing!
