All sorts of yummy treats!

There was SO much food at the fair last night but this was our favourite! None of us had ever tried it before and it is SO good Shayne is making it right now (with help from Paddy and I the official taste testers)

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

5 minutes

Ingredients (serves 24) - or 4 LOTS of times :)

  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 125g butter, chopped
  • 160ml (2/3 cup) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbs golden syrup
  • 1 x 250g pkt plain sweet biscuits (such as Marie), crushed
  • 45g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut
  • 1 x 375g pkt licorice allsorts, coarsely chopped
  • 200g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
  • 30g copha

Method

  1. Brush a 19 x 29cm (base measurement) lamington pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang slightly.
  2. Combine the butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Add the biscuits, coconut and licorice allsorts and stir until just combined. Press the mixture into the base of the prepared pan and set aside for 30 minutes to set.
  3. Place the chocolate and copha in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the slice in the pan. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Cut into squares to serve.
  4. ENJOY!

I have seen this but never tried it. Have also seen one with the lolly bananas in them.

Lisa - I just HAVE to make the banana one now - for Lauren (of course) because she doesn't like licorice!

Made banana and then make cherry ripe - so far the licorice wins!
