Ingredients
- 250 gram malt biscuits
- 2 tablespoon cocoa
- 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
- 100 gram butter, melted
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 190 gram Eskimo lollies, chopped

Gooey marshmallow frosting
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 teaspoon liquid glucose
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cup marshmallows, cut into small chunks
Method
- 1Line a 23cm square cake pan with non-stick baking paper.

- 3Press the mixture into the lined tin and smooth the surface. Place in the fridge to chill.

Gooey marshmallow frosting
- 6Place a bowl over a pan of boiling water, ensuring the water can’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Place egg whites, sugar, liquid glucose and water in the bowl. Beat with a handheld electric mixer on low for about 1 minute until sugar dissolves, then increase the speed and beat on high for 5-7 minutes until stiff and glossy.
- 7Beat in the vanilla and marshmallows and mix until marshmallows are melted and frosting is smooth.
Notes
- Use kitchen scissors to easily snip the marshmallows. Once the biscuit mixture is in the pan, arrange the Eskimo chunks so they are evenly distributed. PER SERVE (24) Energy 198kcal, 832kj • Protein 2.3g • Total Fat 7.7g • Saturated Fat 4.7g • Carbohydrate 30.7g • Fibre 0.9g • Sodium 64mg
