    Try dipping ginger biscuits in a mixture of strong black coffee and brandy. Then sandwich biscuits together with whipped cream. Cover with whipped cream and roughen up to look like a log. Chill for a few hours in fridge. Lovely easy dessert for christmas day for those that dont like christmas pudding.

    I see this is an old thread... just in case a guide is reading, 16011996's crunchie recipe link is dead.
