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.
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.
