There were six kids in my family, so Mum figured out ways to do things quickly and cheaply. Afghans were a favourite biscuit, but made with the crumbs from the weetbix packet. (Cornflakes were a Christmas-only treat!)She used to press the mixture into a sponge roll tin. Once cooled, it was iced, dusted with coconut and stored - but never for long!
