    Fifteens!!

    Chop up 15 marshmallows, 15 glace cherries and crush 15 digestive biscuits. Mix together with a tin of condensed milk roll into a sausage shape and roll in dessicated cocunut. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours in foil then slice the sausage into 1 inch thick bits and enjoy. They look like this when done. (those arent mine by the way)

    Just remembered another version of these. Mix up a tin of condensed milk, crushed digestives and a couple of spoons of cocoa in a bowl. Roll out a small piece of the mixture in your hand, pop a marshmallow in the middle and roll into a ball. roll the balls in dessicated coconut and pop in a bun case. We call these coconut bombs.

    Melt some butter in a pan, add the marshmallow, keep stirring and add rice crispies. Make squares or individual crospy cakes. Top with melted chocolate if you're feeling lavish.

    sorry these are the ones i make,had posted them on another thread a while ago,i don't know how to lin it all up!

    100g (4oz) butter or hard margerine
    100g (4oz) marshmallows
    100g (4oz) toffees
    200g (7oz) rice krispies


    Put the top 3 ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently till all melted,then let it bubble for a minute or 2

    Take off heat and let it stand for a couple of mins.

    Put rice krispies into a large bowl and pour over toffee mix or if you have a large saucepan you can just add the rice krispies to that.

    If you feel you need a few more krispies then add them, i often don't weigh them i just add enough so there all coated.

    Put into a 12x9in suitable tin/container and pat down with the back of a spoon without pinching any while doing it!

    Try to leave to cool and cut into pieces to you liking.Me and my sister usually cut small ones and then eat at least 2 coz there only small!

    My tips for this is, i prefer butter,be careful what marg you might use because of the water content in a lot of them can cause soggyness

    Keep in a tin, don't put in fridge or it goes soggy

    Once you've made this you will never buy it again.

    I usually make double,it keeps well if it lasts that long.

    I use tesco/asda basic value toffees in a bag

    Hope you like it
