I thought 185gr butter was far too much for 165gr biscuits. is this really correct. Also after 40-45 mins in the oven, the choc bits do melt so the picture isnt really accurate. With the choc bits on top, its not easy to see if its 'browned lightly'. Look forward to your comments please.
This receipe couldn't have been more perfect for someone who doesn't own a muffin tray or a mix master. It was easier than 1-2-3. Only problem was cutting it up. I found the chocolate bits didn't stick as well as I hoped, creating a small disaster. I recommend possibly melting the chocolate and pouring it on top.
to Yumbo of Sydney - chocolate doesn't change shape unless you stir it etc. All the layers are put on then just cook as directed - I made this last night - it is fantastic and no mixing bowls!
I'm with nana - the photo looks like the choc bits haven't been baked (or they'd be melted!), so what goes in the oven? Do you sprinkle the choc bits on top after the base & condensed milk? Help!!!!!
I have used this recipe for ages it is fantastic, no messy bowl, no mixing just sprinkle and enjoy 10 out of 10
Everybodies arteries just started screaming for mercy!!!!
Do you put all the layers in the oven?? or is it just the biscuit base?
I tried the recipe very easy to make, which surprised me I'm not much of a cook, but I loved the recipe, I made it for friends one afternoon and gave a couple of them the recipe. Good one!
I made this last weekend (found the recipe on a can of condensed milk) and it was great! Scotch Fingers for the biscuit base worked well. Easy and great tasting - highly recommended!
