'Bliss Balls' for Kids

Rainy day cooking

 If your kids love getting into your bliss balls here is a great alternative - nut free and super easy to make with their help (just don't let them roll them unless you have stacks of wipes on hand!):

WEETBIX & SULTANA BALLS (makes 10-15)

3 weet-bix, crushed

1/4 cup sultanas

1/4 cup apricots (finely chopped)

1 tablespoon cocoa (could also use cacao or carob powder)

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup coconut

1. In a large bowl combine Weet-Bix, sultanas, apricots and cocoa. Add condensed milk, mixing well. (my girls loved helping with this step and I gave them each a mixing spoon to prevent fighting!)

2. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Toss in coconut. (if it doesn't appear to stick straight away be patient it helps to firmly press mixture together when rolling in the coconut)

3. Place balls into fridge in an airtight container and wait about half an hour until firm
