Delicious Hedgehog

Who doesn’t love a yummy, moist piece of hedgehog? This recipe was shared with me over 30 years ago by the lovely mother of one of my primary school students when I was teaching. So, thanks Judy. We still love it!

Ingredients:

¼ lb (125g) Butter

¼ lb (125g) Sugar

1 Tbsp Cocoa

½ lb (230g) Marie Biscuits, crushed

1 Egg, beaten

½ cup Sultanas

*100g chocolate, melted + a tsp of copha - for the top of the slice. This recipe originally came without the chocolate, but add it if you like.

½ cup Coconut + extra for the top, or hundreds and thousands, or anything that takes your fancy!

Method:

1.    Melt butter, sugar and cocoa in a saucepan large enough to hold all the ingredients, stirring well.

2.    In a basin, mix together Marie biscuits, beaten egg, sultanas, and coconut.

3.    Add the basin mixed ingredients to the butter mix in the saucepan. Mix well.

4.    Cook in the saucepan for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

5.    Press into a baking paper lined slice tin.

6.    *Melt chocolate and copha and pour on top.

7.    Sprinkle with extra coconut.

8.   Set in the fridge. Enjoy!
