How to make Milo balls
- Heat the sweetened condensed milk.
- Mix in Milo and crushed biscuits.
- Then roll the mixture into balls.
- Roll balls in extra Milo.
My top tips for the best results
- Heating the condensed milk makes it easier to combine the mixture.
- No food processor to crush the biscuits? Pop them into a sturdy plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- To easily roll the Milo balls, squeeze the portion of the mixture in your hands 3 or 4 times; this compacts the mixture, then roll between your hands to make it into a rounder shape.
Storage
Store these Milo balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
This recipe is suitable for freezing.
