Method

  • step 1

    Crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, then put them in a large mixing bowl. Chop each marshmallow into 4 pieces and add to the bowl with the cherries and 175ml condensed milk. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and you have a sticky mixture. If it’s too dry, add a splash more condensed milk.

  • step 2

    Sprinkle most of the coconut over a large piece of cling film (or foil). Tip the mixture onto the coconut and shape into a long sausage, about 30 x 5cm. Sprinkle more coconut over the top of it and wrap the cling film tightly around, twisting the ends together. Leave in the fridge to chill for 4-6 hrs, then cut into 15 slices and serve. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week wrapped in cling film.

Looks like we’ve all been watching blue lights 😂

Yep. Season 2, EP 1. Now the real question is, do we take Stevie's advice and reduce the condensed milk or has that already been accounted for in the recipe? 🤔

I just watched a show called blue lights one of the cast had made them supposedly and I'd never heard of them before even though my grandfather and grandmother were irish going to try this recipe with the cherries and the the malteeser version

Just watching it on iPlayer and had to find out what they were eating! Looks like a good recipe to make with children, and one of my granddaughters loves Maltesers!

Instead of wasting the rest of the tin of condensed milk, I simply use the whole tin with 21/22 cherries, mallows, digestive biscuits. Just gives you more of these delicious biscuits.

Blasphemy!

question

My partner doesn’t like cherries. Could I substitute for something else? Maybe chocolate chips?

Maltesers instead of cherries works very well. Absolutely delicious .

question

For marshmallows, which kind should I be using? Small or large ones?

Use large ones and cut them up! It makes for open edges on them.
