I can remember having when I was a child a peppermint log slice that was I think from memory a packet of cool mints whizzed in food processor and there was condensed milk I think also, not sure about any other ingredients.It was rolled into a log and covered in coconut and sliced into pieces.It was one of nanas recipes and she sadly is no longer around to ask.Anyone remember anything like this.
vonkrum, was the peppermint log slice something like the following which is from the former Trademe Cooks!
"MINT TRUFFLES 1 tin condensed milk heated, add 1 pkt crushed choc. thins and a bag of crushed hard peppermints - put mixture in freezer until cool then roll into balls. Can put choc in centre and roll in coconut. posted by jaky"
Hope that helps you to recreate your childhood memory.:-))

Thanks, but there was no chocolate and definitely remember the packet of cool mints.Nana always made the little extras at christmas.When cut just little pieces, like 1" at the most.

They sound yum.Perhaps you could invent your own special treat that you could hand down to your grandchildren.You could write a 'grandmothers cookbook' to hand down as well.I'm doing one this Christmas for my two oldest children, putting mine and their favourite recipes into it.Not quite a grandmothers cookbook but I hope one day to cook with my grandchildren and put one together for them as well.

Is this it!
1 pkt Girl Guide Biscuits (crushed) 105gm pkt Oddfellows (crushed) 1/2 can Condensed milk 50gms Butter (melted) 1/2 cup Coconut Add melted buter and condensed milk to the well crushed biscuits and mints. Then make a log of it and set in the fridge. Once set you can cut into slices.
Flower-child 01 this could be it.Never new the other ingredients but sounds like the type of ingredients.Thanks will give it a go.

A very old family recipe - peppermint hedgehogs 4 oz butter (120g) 1 cup sugar 1 rounded tablespoon cocoa 1 packet plain sweet biscuits - crumbed 1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional) 1 egg 1 pack oddfellow peppermints crushed Heat butter, sugar & cocoa until melted together. Add beaten egg & quickly stir together. Add biscuits, nuts & peppermints. Mix together well and press into a greased (or lined) swiss roll pan. Ice with chocolate icing or melted chocolate. Cut into small pieces. The flavour improves if it is kept in the fridge for a week before using, the peppermints soften & the flavour goes through the slice.

Oddly I have never heard of it before, curiosity got me googling. Do the oddfellows stay solid or do they go soft. I might just give it a go myself.

flower-child the peppermints are hard initially but if you store the slice for a few days to a week the peppermints soften & the flavour mellows
