Method
Washed carrots scraped sheet and cooked (for faster can use a pressure cooker to boil and steam). As cool planed finely grater. The biscuits are ground and mixed with powdered sugar and vanilla. If you enjoyed cognac or rum are added to planing carrots Carrots biscuit mixture and mix (try to taste - if you like sweet, you can add more powdered sugar). From this mixture pellets are formed with a size as a nut. In the middle of each ball put walnut nut or fruit (maybe fruit jam). Arranged in the tray and kept cool until serving. Before serving can be rolled in powdered sugar, cocoa , coconut, ground walnuts or advance (before being placed in the refrigerator) to indulge in chocolate. It can be served in small paper shapes (candy). Another easy option is desiccated coconut and the walnuts be added to the dry biscuit mixture. In this version I added a 3 tbsp coconut flakes and coarsely chopped walnuts.

Several times do these carrot candy. Not even to be further rolled in anything tasty. Rolled more effective. :) The last time I put nuts instead of cherry jam. Unfortunately I can not upload photos because the unit breaks down and remained in his memory. If you can get them all right. :(

Here are those with cherry jam.

Ina, how soft should be as carrots boil? Can instead of just scraping Strain puree? Or just to put everything in chopper / food processor?

Neville just been cooked. As in the dish or soup. If boiled in water (not boiling) should be allowed to poizsahnat. I have not thought about puree or use a chopper, but why not. Maybe with a fork wrinkle. If pureed consistency would be fine, if a grater, chopper, fork - will also be a piece of carrot (which I did as I prefer). How will you make me try again, to see the difference! :)

Empty laziness Ina, I do not like to scrape a grater :) I figured it would blend them boiled well drained and left to cool slightly, put in a bowl with crackers - whole, not waste them break , you will strain. Caught blender before them bramna decided slightly crush them tapped blender. Carrots, still slightly warm, melted my biscuits - use Blender as a stirrer, and with the same spoon would happen very quickly and easily :) I framed balls and roll in coconut candy and were wonderful - light and delicious, thanks for the recipe.

And us we like candy. Do not put coconut, walnuts put a biscuit instead of rum / brandy added a little orange liqueur. My received is different from the picture - quite a carrot were, but the taste was great. I dipped them lightly in melted chocolate with some cream and orange liqueur, and in the middle I put on a mountain of strawberry jam. Photos will not, because it quickly ate! Ina, thank you!

Gerry, you all you created a masterpiece, I understand why they ate quickly :)

Thank Neville were really very delicious!

Nevi, it laziness sometimes and helps us! :) Facilitate his is. No picture?

Gerry, I can only regret that no photos! Otherwise, orange liqueur, chocolate, cream, wild strawberry - imagine how many were delicious and aromatic! :) I just like them a carrot.
