A simple, no bake Christmas treat. I remember making these almost every year around this time with my Dad and sister. The chain gang of balling and rolling in coconut made it a quick task so I recruited some smaller helpers today as well.... little Georgia was to keen to get her fingers mucky and Lucy tried her hand at it too for a time.
Ingredients:
250g weetabix, crushed
1 400g tin of sweetened condensed milk
3 tspn cocoa powder
1/2 cup sultanas/raisins, chopped (optional but highly recommended)
1 1/2 cup dessicated unsweetened coconut
2 tbspn rum (white, dark, doesnt matter) or more if you want a Merry Christmas.
Method:
- Combine the crushed weetabix, rum, condensed milk, cocoa powder, sultanas and 1 of the cups of coconut in a large bowl and mix until well combined
- Roll roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture into a ball and then drop into another bowl of the remaining coconut to coat

| Georgia says she might become a real cooker one day! |
- Place on a tray and continue until all the mixture is used.
- Place in the refridgerator for 25-30minutes to chill
- Store in an airtight container, for as long as they last... or up to about 10 days if that's possible.
- They get even better after a few days as the rum seems to intensify
You ARE a real cooker, Georgia - and Lucy too - Mummy is sure to love your help in the kitchen. Making Grandma's rum balls for Christmas is a tradition in the Tuck family - we just have to hear from Linton now to see if he is doing the same!
