This is one of the recipes that have been handed down in the family-receiving it is an acknowledgement that you are grown up!
Hedgehog
125g margarine or butter substitute ( not normal butter-makes it too firm)
125g sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
2tablespoons desiccated coconut
1egg
250g Milk Arrowroot biscuits crushed (pieces no bigger than half your little finger nail)
* Melt butter, sugar, cocoa & coconut together over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Take off heat and allow to cool.
* Beat egg well and add to mix with biscuits.
* Press into greased and lined slice tin. Set in fridge and ice with chocolate glace icing sprinkled with either coconut or hundreds & thousands.
BTW- I usually make double the quantity to make a thicker slice.
