Hedgehogs

Serves 24

Ingredients

125g butter
1 cup icing sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons Cadbury® Bournville® Cocoa
3 tablespoons coconut
1 egg, lightly beaten
250g Marie biscuits, broken into large pieces

CHOCOLATE ICING
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon Cadbury Bournville Cocoa
1-2 tablespoons hot water

Method 

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Remove from the heat.
  2. Add the icing sugar, cocoa and coconut, and mix well. Stir in the beaten egg. Stir over a gentle heat until boiling. Alternatively, transfer to a microwaveproof bowl and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes on High (100% power).
  3. Fold in the broken biscuits, taking care not to crush them too much.
  4. Press the mixture into a lined 28 x 18 cm slab pan. Chill for 1 hour.
  5. Make the icing. Sift the icing sugar and the cocoa into a bowl. Add the hot water and mix to a smooth paste. Cover the chilled mixture with the icing and sprinkle with extra coconut or chopped nuts.

Note: For best results, always sift Cadbury Bournville Cocoa before adding to dry ingredients.
