4 ozs butter

½ tin sweetened condensed milk

1 packet malt biscuits

1 packet fruit Puffs (a hard fruit flavoured marshmallow type lollie)

Coconut for coating

Warm the butter and condensed milk together until the butter is soft.

Crush the biscuits to crumbs and add to a bowl.

Chop the lollies and add to the crushed biscuits.

Pour in the butter mix and mix well.

Roll into logs about 2 inches thick and roll in dedicated coconut.

Place in the fridge to set up a bit and then slice ½ inch thick and store in a cake tin.

Note: This cake or slice is very sweet and rich. A great party favourite here in New Zealand for the children.

Variation: If you cannot get the fruit puffs there, then a good substitute is to add, 1 cup of golden raisins instead. This makes just as nice a cake and one that I actually prefer to the lollies.
