80g sweetened condensed milk
75g Macadamia nuts
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract

Lightly beat the egg. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix together using a large spoon or spatula.

Either drop a spoonful of the mixture into the prepared muffin tray, or use a small ice cream scoop to form into small balls and place on the lined baking tray.

Bake for appx 18 mins. Take out the oven, allow to cool slightly and then transfer to a wire rack.
