I had a recipe I'm sure it was snowballs, I remember the two ingredients mentioned, raisons or sultanas, something else and rolling them in coconut. They are delicious, if anyone can supply the original recipe I would really appreciate it. Thank you

would the other ingredient be Kremelta or condensed milk. I think I know what you are taking about but don't have a recipe sorry. The ones we made were called bulls eyes, they had a date or prune in the centre with mixture rolled around outside.

Yes, 80's fare it was! Cant's remember the exact quantities but uses condensed milk, coconut, choipped up dried fruits, and I think a bit of flour. I'll see if I can find the original, I'm pretty sure it's in one of my old cookbooks.:)

one tin sweetened condensed milk one cup coconut enough dried fruits to make a firm mixture 1/2 cup figs, chopped 1/2 cup currants 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup sultanas 1/2 packet crystallised ginger, chopped 1/2 packet cherries, chopped
Roll little 'sausages' in coconut and bake in a very slow oven (140*C) until they are set but not brown.

I can vaguely remember something made with milk powder, kremelta, sugar, dried fruit and maybe coconut.It was rolled into rough balls and served as a sweet (they tasted horrible by the way).it might have been an imitation of white chocolate.Does that sound likesnowballs!

OK . I have found a recipe that is called SNOWBALLS. Its very similar to Truffles and other recipies. SNOWBALLS:Dissolve 2 Tbsp cocoa with 4oz melted butter.Mix in 1 cup sultanas, 1 cup icing sugar & 1 cup coconut.Firm mixture in fridge.Then form balls & roll in coconut. Hopefully that is the recipe you are looking for.
