Yep, thats where i got it from - quite rich so cut small pieces, and use a little less butter with the biscuit crumbs - otherwise it's great!

jessie981, the recipe at #1 is a variation on the good old lolly cake and one that I have made by using my usual recipe and simply substituting the licorice allsorts for the fruit puffs - I prefer it pressed into a shallow tin, then cut into fingers.IMO it is definitely ok without icing although I must try the above recipe, including the icing so that I can make a really informed choice.:-))

Yes, fine without icing and as 245sam says, it is much like the lollie cake. Actually i think the icing makes it a bit rich, but hey, its all gone so who's complaining!!

Have been thinking that the lolly cake recipe, can be adapted to using anykind of soft unchewy lollies, or perhaps just dried fruit or ginger, maybe red and green cherries. Has anyone made anything different. ??

this is my recipe
Licorice allsort slice · Melted butter, to grease · 125g butter, chopped · 160ml (2/3 cup) sweetened condensed milk · 1 tbs golden syrup · 1 x 250g pkt plain sweet biscuits crushed · 45g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut · 1 x 375g pkt licorice allsorts, coarsely chopped · 200g dark cooking chocolate, chopped · 30g kemelta Method 1. Brush a 19 x 29cm (base measurement) lamington pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang slightly. 2. Combine the butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Add the biscuits, coconut and licorice allsorts and stir until just combined. Press the mixture into the base of the prepared pan and set aside for 30 minutes to set. 3. Place the chocolate and kemeltain a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the slice in the pan. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Cut into squares to serve.

Edited to add thanks to rarogal for posting the recipe and I think, as you did, I'd be using "a little less butter with the biscuit crumbs" - without checking I think my usual recipe has 115g butter which I realise is only 10g (1 dssp) less butter but even the 115g butter is IMO a very adequate quantity to use.:-))
