This is something an old friend at school family used to always make for parties and events. I don’t remember the recipe but I remember the ingredients, how it tasted (so good!) and the texture so thought I would try and recreate it. I loved it as a child. This isn’t spot on with their version but still good enough for me. My partner took some to work and a lady said it was the best slice she has had in a long time! Wow.

This is a great recipe to use up that 200g of sweetened condensed milk (leftovers? whats that?) and is very quick to whip up.

    Oh my, this is amazing! I used caramel flavoured condensed milk & wine biscuits as all I had but was absolutely to die for 🙂 Keep up the great recipes!

    I made these and just assumed that the butter was to be blitzed with the biscuits. Was this correct?

      I add it with the remaining ingredients but adding with biscuits is completely fine.
