Ingredients

250 gram malt biscuits

190 gram Explorer lollies

100 gram butter, melted

1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk

1/2 – 3/4 cup desiccated coconut

Method

Crush or process the biscuits to fine crumbs and place in a mixing bowl.

Cut the Explorer lollies into thirds and add to the bowl, along with the melted butter and condensed milk. Mix as best you can, then turn onto a clean board or sheet of baking paper and form into a log.

Roll the log in coconut, and refrigerate for several hours until firm. Serve in slices.
