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

METHOD

Using clean hands, crush cereal biscuits into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa, coconut and dried fruit.

Roll the mixture into bite-size balls and then roll in remaining coconut to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
