Lolly Slice is one of those classic cafe and bakery items that my kids always beg me to buy for them (along with the humble Gingerbread Man).  I recently decided to try making my own Lolly Slice for Miss 4's birthday and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to make (a great item to get your kids to help you make too).

I found the recipe here - and trust me, it's delicious and the perfect thing to make a few days before it's needed.

Ingredients
1 x 250 g packet sweet biscuits, crushed  (I prefer malt biscuits)
½ x 395 g tin condensed milk
115g margarine or butter, melted
1 packet lolly bananas, musk sticks, fruit sticks or similar lollies, chopped roughly  (I use eskimo lollies)
Coconut (optional)

Method
Mix all ingredients together then press into a 20cm x 25cm slice tin.
Sprinkle with coconut if desired.
Refrigerate, then cut into pieces to serve.

Recipe notes

This can be iced with chocolate icing instead of being sprinkled with coconut. It can also be rolled into a log shape and rolled in coconut, then sliced after being refrigerated.

Have fun!

Joining in with Life Made Lovely Monday. 

On the weekend I took a bit of sick leave... the kind of sick leave where you are 'sick', so you lie in bed and 'leave' the kids to their own devices (don't worry - they had adult supervision at all times... from a distance).

I did a lot of lying on the bed with my crochet blanket, magazines and Boo...

While the girls room slowly went from 'tidy' to 'tip'...

Thankfully hubby was home for some of the weekend and this awesome friend took one of the girls out to the movies. 

It was so good to get out of the house late Sunday afternoon for a quick drive to the local park by the beach so our housebound kids could have a quick play...
