She also made it in it's original ginger form. And I do too, though only for special occasions - so much butter!<br />Em: you mentioned the cornflake and chocolate biscuits: possibly could be "Afgans" - which is the first entry under Cakes and Biscuits in my copy of the Edmonds book.

It will be a great one to make (and eat!) with your niece. I'd love to hear how it goes.

I will be trying this and will have my young niece make it with me as we are starting a tradtion of cooking and baking together. It actually sounds like a new item for Christmas! I would like to double check something though, what is a sponge roll tin? Is this what we; in Canada, call a cookie sheet? Large rectangular flat pan with short sides? LOL!

Well those were the days when you walked into a cafe and ordered a "coffee" because there was only one kind on offer. The cornflakes remind me of those chocolate cookies with cornflakes in them - they were great.... I might have to track that recipe down.Emma Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529923152669691796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902168275407156373.post-33837820164446280052011-11-21T20:00:07.498+13:002011-11-21T20:00:07.498+13:00I think I had the Chch version, made with cornflak...I think I had the Chch version, made with cornflakes, but the icing sounds the same, minus the coconut maybe, can't really remember. Lots of the old Kiwi Choc recipes tend to have cocoa rather than dark chocolate (so common in todays' recipes), is this because cocoa was more popular, or because dark chocolate wasn't readily available?<br /><br />Ciao<br />AlessandraAlessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.com
