Who doesn’t love Milo right?

I remember as a kid coming home from school, and, the first think I would do, would be to grab the milk out of the fridge. I’d add a couple of scoops of milo and stir the cold milk through, for a mug full of goodness!

For us adults, this treat will bring you back to those good old days, sipping down some milo and watching cartoons in the afternoon or heading out to play some cricket or footy outside with the neighbours.

Stir in the milo to these baked treats and, once out of the oven, delve in and enjoy!

Vegans Substitute: Swap the butter for margarine and the egg for egg replacer.

Please note: The photo will be up shortly for these delicious biscuits, I haven’t had the opportunity to put it up yet.
