With a rather odd colour, this one surprises me that children like it - they reach for it thinking it's caramel, but are surprised by the spice-sweet ginger. It's an easy slice to make, and be sure to cut it into small portions as this is full of sugar and butter. Shoutout to IDEAS Helen who loves this slice.
If you know the Edmonds recipe, this version from my grandmother has a little more ginger for extra spice.
