CHERRY NOUGAT BITES

Prep time is about 30 mins - no cooking time. Yield about 26 pieces

  • ¼ cup condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon imitation vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¾ cup of powdered milk
  • 2/3 cup of glace cherries chopped,  one colour or the 3 colour mix

Combine the condensed milk, vanilla and sugar in a medium mixing bowl and then stir in the powdered milk and cherries

Using a wooden spoon stir until all are combined

Turn the mixture onto a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar and knead until smooth

Divide the mixture in half and then roll each half between the palms of hands into a rope 2.5cm thick.

Dust with the extra icing sugar and then refrigerate until firm

When the rolls are firm cut into 2.5cm pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

A tip for this recipe is using a combination of glace cherries and chopped nuts for something different
