Yankee Crunch Slice

I made this slice the other day, one of our family favourites that I got from my mum.  Very quick & easy to make.  Didn't get a chance to get a photo as it was eaten within 24hrs of making it, lol.  Hope you enjoy it.

Milo Biscuits

Been a busy week for me this week, back to work after my son was sick last week & school started back for my daughter.  Got home from the school pickup this afternoon & felt like baking something simple, so found my recipe for these Milo Biscuits, which are yummy.  Got the mix all happening when I realised someone has been raiding the Milo tin (hmmm yes you, husband of mine) and there was only a spoon of milo left, so I chucked in some chocolate drinking powder & some colour sprinkles for the kids.  Anyway, they turned out great & the kids just love them :)

& here is the recipe
