Frogs in the pond jelly slice - Real Recipes from Mums

Quick and easy slice which is great for childrens parties.
No baking required.

Ingredients

185g Butter
225g Crushed marie biscuits
400g Sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons
2tsp Gelatine
1 packet green Jelly
1 packet red lolly frogs

Method

For the base- mix crushed biscuits and melted butter, then press into base of a 25 x 15cm slice tin.
Lemon layer- Dissolve gelatine in 3/4 cup of boiling water. Blend condensed milk with juice of two lemons and the gelatine mix. Then spread the mix over biscuit base and leave to set.
Jelly Layer- Make up jelly according to directions on packet and allow to cool. Pour over slice then drop red jelly frogs in and chill in fridge until set, Then cut into small squares to serve.

Notes

A very special recipe handed down to me by my now 92 year old Nan. I just added a modern twist with the frogs. For a firmer jelly pond, just use less water when making up the jelly.

Oooh I remember my nanna making a jelly slice similar to this when I was growing up and it was delicious only without the frogs in the pond part. What a great twist to put both recipes together like that. My kids would love this, thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
