Thanks Finsleymaid - I saw that one too . . . . looks far too simple to be true!!! LOL

Here comes a really silly question . . . . is coconut powder like desicated coconut????

[AnonyMouse_30128]

shows you how awake i am didn't spot that!! if you look cocnut powder online it is available from amazon/ shops/health food shops. I think i might be inclined to blitz some dessicated coconut down a bit...should still work

we use an easy recipe;

 

225g dessicated coconut

100g icing sugar

200g condensed milk - you can get it in tubes and its easy to just sqirt in

 

mix alltogether

roll into little balls

coat with icing sugar

leave to set - we put ours in those little sweetie cases

 

you could let each child make their own, its roughly twice as much coconut to icing sugar and enough condensed milk to bind.

Crumbs - highly calorific - just up my street!

I've popped this into the Diwali forum and if you scroll down there are some suggestions for sweets there as well. I do like the sound of Conker's recipe though ...yum yum!

I have just taken this from Juliets fab article here

 

Indian sweets - ask the children to help you soak some dried apricots in water or orange juice. Leave them until the next day. Do the children notice that the dried fruit has swollen up over night? Drain off the liquid and cut the apricots in half. The children can put a teaspoonful of cream cheese inside each apricot. Share them at snack time.

we used same as conker but each child could make their own .. 2 teaspoons dessicated coconut, 1 teaspoon icing sugar and a bit of condensed milk to bind it to make balls.. roll in coconut if you want before it is set.. (coconut ice )
