While we were in Perth over Christmas I delved into Mum-in-law's recipe books and came up with a few new ones to try. This one I made while we were there and finally got around to making again this week. Funnily, the first time I made this one it came out quite crumbly and a bit dry. This time round it's crumbly but a bit too moist. Maybe I was being a bit stingey with the ingredients last time and a bit too sloppy this time. Who knows? Either way, it's yummy, easy and a nice afternoon tea treat.

As you can see from the photo I didn't manage to make bars as suggested, they ended up being 'bits' or 'chunks' instead. They still tasted good though!
