Instructions

1. Melt the buttery baking spread in a large pan over a medium heat. Once melted, remove from the heat.

2. Add the desiccated coconut, condensed milk and sugar to a large bowl and pour in the melted buttery baking spread. Give everything a good mix to fully combine.

3. Mix together the popping candy and the Nesquik and decant into a medium sized bowl. Roll the desiccated coconut mix into small balls (around the same size as a large grape) and then roll the balls in the popping candy mix.

4. Place the balls on the lined baking tray and pop in the fridge to firm up for an hour before sharing with family and friends as a special Christmas treat. Any leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
