Dangerously moreish!

Ingredients

• 250 gram packet plain wheat digestive biscuits
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• 100 grams butter, melted
• 1½ cups brown sugar
• ¾ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup chopped glace cherries
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 20cm x 24-26cm slice tin.
2. Place the biscuits in a sealable plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin to form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place in a food processor and pulse.
3. Mix 1¾ cups of biscuit crumbs with the oats and butter to form moist crumbs. Press firmly into the base of the prepared tin.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. While the base is cooking, mix the remaining crumbs (about ½ cup) with the brown sugar, pecans, glace cherries, chocolate chips, baking powder, vanilla essence and eggs.
6. Spread over hot baked crust and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes. Cool completely before dusting with icing sugar or topping with a favourite chocolate icing. Serve in small squares.
