    1. Its ok 3 out of 5 stars.
      We all know dolce de leche or Condensed milk caramel, hasn’t got much of a caramel/toffee flavor as making caramel sauce yourself…

      As much as I like gingernuts I used Griffins gingernuts and the ginger base overpowers everything in this recipe so I suggest NOT to use Griffins (I’m assuming Arnotts might be less gingery?) otherwise stick with the usual malt/superwine biscuits.

      Will not be making this again, will stick with original that involves making your own caramel sauce.
