Ingredients

To make these no bake Weet-Bix and Milo Balls, you will need 11 Weet-Bix bars, a tin of sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut (I do not recommend using shredded or flaked) and of course Milo.
I like to roll the balls in desiccated coconut to decorate, however you can leave them plain or coat in extra Milo or even cocoa if you prefer.

Kids have enjoyed these. I used half weetbix crumbs from the bottom of the box and half rice bubble crumbs. I made the condensed milk with water, milk and milk powder.
Gwen
I add chopped sultanas and walnuts. Also a good idea to keep hands wet if mixture too sticky when rolling into balls.
Lauren Matheson
Great tips, thank yoU!
Linda Barnes
I am thinking of instead of milo drinking chocolate gluten free and weetbix gluten free
Lauren Matheson
Hi Linda, I haven’t tried these gluten free before, please let me know how it goes 🙂
Kasey
Any suggestions of what i could swap condensed milk with? Have a dairy free kid…….hmmm might need to check milo too , never used it
Lauren Matheson
Hi Kasey, Sorry but I’m not sure xx
Amanda
You can get coconut condensed milk which is vegan so definitely dairy free
Lauren Matheson
Thanks Amanda!
Jade
I’ve found a soy condensed milk in health food shops it works well for these
Irish girl
Hi, I’m not sure where you are based but in New Zealand where I am, we have a dairy free condensed milk, the brand name is Nature’s Charm. I have no idea if it tastes like normal sweetened condensed milk or if it’s a poor substitute but it might be worth giving it a try if you can find some?
Roxanne
I just made these for the first time in my new Thermie. I didnt have any condensed milk so I used a tin of Caramel top n fill. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you 🙂
Lauren Matheson
Ooh yum!
Aimee
Do you have a rough idea of how many cups of weetbix crumbs 11 weetbix make? I have a whole lot of ‘crumbs’ in our weetbix tin and would like to use them up instead of 11 whole weetbix.
Lauren Matheson
ooh good question Aimee, I’ll measure next time. Off the top of my head I’d suggest 2 cups and if your mixture is still very wet, just add a couple of ‘whole’ weet-bix x
Louise
If you have digital scales,…… I just weigh one weet Bix and then weigh the same in crumbs. If that make sense
Clare
Weigh 11 whole weetbix to determine the weight you need then weigh the broken pieces.

Lauren Matheson
Hello, yes they can 🙂
Nicole Hogan
We had these in our lunchbox every week as kids. Mum used 8 weetbix. One tin of condensed milk. A handful of raisins and a tbs of both cocoa and coconut. Put in fridge for an hour then rolled into balls. So yum! We called them rum balls – even though no rum! For parties Mum used to colour the coconut with food colouring.
Lauren Matheson
What a great idea, I’m going to try adding raisins next time 🙂
