Milk Arrowroot Biscuit Slice

I've spoken before about Grandma having incomplete recipes in her cookbook, but I think this recipe takes the cake so far in terms of just how little information is given.

The recipe in the book was just a list of ingedients (below), and didn't even include the ingredient thats in the title!

40g Butter

2 tablespoons syrup

1 tin condensed milk

Topping:

White chocolate

2 tablespoons copha

The only thing I could think to do in order to make a slice out of these was to crush the milk arrowroot bikkies and add that to the butter, syrup and condensed milk. 1 packet of biscuits added to the other ingredients made a mixture that held together, however, even after chilling for quite some time it was still far too sticky to be picked up. I ended up solving this by making a cheesecake base by crushing another half a packet of arrowroot biscuits and mixing the crumbs with melted butter. This worked well and I then just melted chocolate with the copha and added it to the top of the slice. 

The end result is really quite yummy (and really sweet!) but I have no idea whether it is actually anywhere close to what Grandma actually would have made. 

The recipe below is what I did in order to make this slice (with a couple of modifications).

Base:

70g Butter (melted)

1/2 packet of crushed milk arrowroot biscuits

Filling:

2 tablespoons syrup

1 tin condensed milk

1 packet crushed milk arrowroot biscuits

Topping:

220g White chocolate

2 tablespoons copha

Mix melted butter and crushed biscuits and press into lined slice tray. Chill until set. 

Mix syrup, condensed milk and crushed biscuits and spread of base. Chill until set.

Melt chocolate and copha, spead over slice and chill until set.
