Directions

1. 1

   Grease & line a 15"x10" lamington/slice tin- let the paper overhang the edges, it makes it easier to get out of the pan without breaking.

2. 2

   Put the first 9 ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.

3. 3

   Put the next 4 ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently until melted, stir well until blended then boil for a minute.

4. 4

   Add the hot liquid to the dry ingredients and mix very well until everything is coated then tip into lined tin, spread evenly & press down very firmly smoothing the topas you press.

5. 5

   Refrigerate until firm enough to cut into 22 bars. ( i usually freeze it for 1/2 an hour & then tip it out onto a board, mark it up & then cut, so that I don't damage the tin.
