I used chocolate ripple biscuits for the base and I havent been able to buy white megamallows at our local supermarket for a week or so now..... so I used normal marshmallows and only could get pink and white. That was the only change to this recipe, I made. These turned out very pretty but I think I must use the white mallows next time, they are very rich and have a great orange flavour that just doesnt match with the pink colours (I know that sounds silly but you see pink and then taste orange and it confuses your taste buds....lol) So its my fault and note to myself ... ...USE WHITE next time.....lol The slice sets really well, creamy yet firm and is very sweet so dont cut the slices too big, These are so rich and creamy with a wonderful orange flavour to them. They are very easy to make and I am sure they wont last long when the family gets home! Thanks katew these make for a great sweet treat.
