My family loves the good old tea biscuit squares. It is a compulsory sweet item at functions and birthday parties.
The same family recipe using cocoa and condensed milk has been around for ages, passed down from generation to generation.
These squares have the same crunch as the original, but taste far better with the addition of melted dark chocolate and crunchy almonds….yum.
These crunch squares will be enjoyed by all and this recipe would become the new family favourite.
