1. Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin until you have crumbs or alternativly put biscuits in a food processor and pulse til a crumb.
2. Put the butter and condensed milk in a pan over a low heat, until the butter melts. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Add the desiccated coconut to the melted butter mixture and stir to combine.
4. Add Raisins and/or cherries if using.
5. Add the biscuit and cocoa powder and stir until cocoa is dissolved.
6. Divide into 40-45 balls (ping pong ball size)(dipping your hands into water between making each ball will help prevent the mixture sticking to your fingers).
7. Put the chocolate strands, cocoa or desiccated coconut into a plastic bag, then gently drop the truffle balls in a few at a time and carefully roll around until they're completely covered. Or half fill a bowl that has a lid with the chocolate strands, cocoa or desiccated coconut drop spoonfuls of the mixture in, add lid and roll the truffle around .
8. Shake off any excess coating and place each truffle in a paper case.
9. Chill the truffles until ready to serve. Enjoy.
