What are we using for wine bikkies lately! The last few times I got some they were too yuk for fudge. I actually threw one lot out and got malt bikkies. The other lot I ended up sort of frying them in the butter to get some flavour going! Comments.

Coffee or ginger fudge
1 tin condensed milk 2 packets of "wine" bikkies 250g butter
For the coffee one I add a tablespoon of super strong coffee and then ice with buttery coffee icing and top with walnuts.
For the ginger one I add a teaspoon of ginger and then ice with ginger crunch icing 100g butter 1c icing 2T golden syrup 4t ginger with the addition of chopped crystallised ginger and walnuts.

Vinee, I always use Super Wine. I used Round Wine once and it changed the slice. I went to make my trusty slice the other day and had to use malt and that also changed the slice. I normally have a double pack of Super Wine on hand but didn't at that time.

korban, I love ginger too so thanks for that, I must try making a ginger version of the Apricot Slice but I'll stick with the caster sugar though as I prefer that to coconut.:-))

Heres a great slice that is done in the microwave. It's a chocolate, coconut rough. 1 cup Self raising flour, 1 Cup Coconut, Half Cup sugar, quarter cup cocoa, 2 desertspoon golden syrup, 150 gram butter. Mix all the dry ingredients in bowl. Melt the butter and add golden syrup. Stir to mix through then pour into the dry mix and blend all together. Press into flat microwave dish. I actually use a cardboard frame. Good size is 250 x 200. Microwave on med/high for just 3 minutes. Cut it while hot and ice with chocolate icing. Yum. Goes down treat.

yeah I always use SW but they have changed the formula and now they are yuk. I make the chocky one with either malt or sw so that's safe but the coffee or ginger ones are in danger of becoming extinct! I tried a few other plain bikkies but they're just not the same.

I guess you could use other cereal for this couldn't you - hubby got some muesli with apricots in by mistake as he doesn't like apricots so I suppose I could use it up like this couldn't I!

I use this recipe but use orange rind instead of lemon and add 1/4 cup each of sultanas, chopped nuts, chopped crystalised ginger, choc chips and chopped apricots.I then top the slice with melted chocolate with a few drops of orange oil added instead of lemon icing.I made some today.

sarahb5, here's a couple of options.
APRICOT FUDGE CAKE 115g butter 85g brown sugar ½ x 395g can sweetened condensed milk 1 x 250g packet wine biscuits, crushed ½ cup firmly packed, chopped dried apricots caster sugar
Heat the butter, brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk just until the butter melts.Remove from the heat and add the biscuits and the apricots.Mix well, then press the mixture into a greased and base-lined 19cm square tin.Allow to set for a few minutes, then sprinkle the top with caster sugar.Set in the refrigerator, then cut into fingers.
FUDGE CAKE 115g each of butter and sugar 1 egg 1/2 tbsp milk 1/4 cup sultanas (optional) 1 tbsp cocoa 1/4 cup walnuts 1 tsp vanilla essence 225g plain biscuits (crumbed)
Melt the butter and sugar together, then add the egg, milk and sultanas. Cook for a few minutes – DO NOT BOIL – then add the biscuits, cocoa, walnuts and vanilla essence. Remove from the heat and press into a tin. When set, ice with chocolate icing. Note: The sultanas and walnuts may both be omitted and 1 cup seedless raisins used instead.
Have you thought of the good old Lolly Cake, or maybe, you regard that as a treat for your children!:-))

Thanks for those - citrus slice sounds good - unfortunately although my kids aren't that fussy about most foods apricots and walnuts are two of the very few things they won't eat

you're welcome sarahb5.
Re the apricots and walnuts - the Apricot Slice is sooo nice as is that I've never thought of any alternative to the apricots (which obviously would make it something other than apricot slice!) but as for the walnuts - did you note that " The sultanas and walnuts may both be omitted and 1 cup seedless raisins used instead."Do your children like sultanas and/or raisins!If so I suggest that you omit the walnuts and add extra sultanas or raisins and.if sultanas and/or raisins are not an option, then I see no reason why they too could not be omitted and you'd still have a yummy chocolate slice.:-))
