Recipe Hints and Tips:
You can use any type of plain biscuit (such as Arnott’s Marie Biscuits) to make these Milo Balls.
We recommend using desiccated coconut, if you use shredded coconut the consistency of the balls will be different and you will find it harder to cover the balls in coconut.
While I normally roll these Milo Balls in coconut once rolled, you can also roll them in Milo Powder to give them an even bigger Milo hit.
Store Milo Balls in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within one week.

Hi Lauren, thanks for this recipe, a nice tasty snack. I tried it without coconut at all, it was very sticky, so I should have put more biscuit’s in, anyway they are in the fridge now, hopefully setting!
Kate
Can I use Arnott’s Nice biscuits?
Katrina
I’ve just made these for school lunches. My daughter helped and thought they were yummy. My son loves milo do I’m sure he’ll love them too. I rolled them in milo instead of coconut
Elizabeth
Good idea! I tried mine without coconut at all, so they were a bit sticky! I’ll try your trick next time.

Elizabeth try rolling the milo balls in chocolate sprinkles. This is what I’m going to try rolling my cherry ripe balls, Bailey balls & Milo balls. For a older person. This wife & son will have the ones rolled in coconut. You would find them in the Cooking aisle near 100 & 1000’s & other sprinkles.
Teresa
Could use activite instead of milo and change the condensed milk to coconut milk?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Teresa, the condensed milk helps to hold the balls together so I don’t think coconut milk would work I’m sorry.
