INGREDIENTS

10 wheat cereal biscuits (eg. Weetbix or Vita Brits)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted

1/4 cup sultanas

METHOD

Using clean hands, crush cereal biscuits into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa, coconut and dried fruit.
Mix condensed milk and cream cheese together until smooth and stir into the dry ingredients until evenly combined.
Roll the mixture into bite-size balls and then roll in remaining coconut to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
