remarkably similar aussielass, the book calls mine crunchies and they must be lower calorie without the coconut :rotfl: you can empty your pm box now then:D its a wonder you restrained yourself for so long

Okay, that's tomorrow's baking sorted! Thank you, Aussielass. (And it saved me trawling through the thread because I thought it had already been posted!)

I'm glad you reminded me. Done.

It's empty now.

Does anyone know how much 1/2 cup butter is in oz/g please?

Going to have to try these Anzacs and do a comparison taste test now

thriftlady_2

It's 4 oz

2 cups = 1 lb
1 cup =8 oz

AussieLass

1/2 cup butter would be 125 grams HTH

Anzacs are in the oven as I type

Will try get a pic of them when they've cooled off
