How to make Weetbix Balls
- Add everything to the food processor
Place the Weet-Bix, dates, currants or sultanas, sunflower seeds, coconut, cocoa and water into a food processor.
- Process until sticky
Process the mixture until it starts to clump together and looks sticky. This can take a few minutes, so give it time. If it looks too dry, add a small splash of water and keep processing.
- Check the texture
The mixture should hold together easily when pressed between your fingers. If it’s still crumbly, add a little more water and process again.
- Roll into balls
Use a tablespoon to scoop out even portions and roll into balls. Slightly damp hands and a damp spoon help stop the mixture sticking.
- Chill and store
Place the balls in an airtight container and store in the fridge. They’ll firm up a little as they chill and keep well for several days.
