      Made this at 11.30 this morning. Checked it at 4.30pm, tried cutting it at 7.45pm and still as soft as it was at 4.30. What do you think went wrong?

        Hi Fiona, I think either a digestive or rich tea (if that’s a plain biscuit) would work the best.
        I’d love to hear what you end up using.
        Have a great day

      This is such a classic recipe and such an Aussie favourite. Where did you source the recipe? — you don’t mention where you got it from.

      Just the way I make mine! I make this one regularly. I have at least four slices (including this one) that I make with 2 core ingredients that I always make sure that i have in my pantry – marie biscuits and condensed milk.
