"My Mom Says Milo Is The Best"

When I saw a box of Milo cereal in the pantry I knew I just had to bake these Milo Doggie Cookies, adapted from Happy Home Baking, for the kids at church. As some kids have nut allergies I really try to bake nut-free recipes during big occasions or events such school parties, birthday parties, and church outings.  

I don't think Australia sells Koko Crunch but our Milo Duo and Milo Cereal is just the same. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to buy any chocolate sprinkles but I used whatever baking decoratives we had in the pantry. I think the doggie above looks the cutest-all chocolate chips!

The large choc chip eyes in comparison to the tiny nose makes the doggies look a tad strange don't you think? 

Nevertheless these Milo doggies were a hit. Crunchy, chocolatey, full of Milo-flavour and finished within the hour.
