Hehe, this looks a lot like the recipe for "Lolly Cake" - a classic kids party food around these parts!  Same basic recipe, by the looks (slightly more butter, I think!!), and then you mix in "fruit puff" or "eskimo" sweets (which look a bit like coloured marshmallows but are firm...not sure what overseas equivalent would be).
Then shape into a log and roll in coconut.  When cold, cut into slices. 
The biscuits we use are just called "Malt Biscuits" but I assume they are similar...?

Might have to make some for DDs 3rd birthday next week.  Thanks for the reminder about it!  Definitely something from my childhood. :)

i dont think so  JD

Pascall Eskimos are used in Lolly cake. 

120g Butter
250g Malt Biscuits
190g Pascall Eskimos (cut into pieces)
1/2 tin of condensed milk
Coconut (for coating)

Warm the butter and the condensed milk in the microwave.  Add the biscuit crumbs and the Pascall Eskimos (cut into pieces).  Stir mixture well.  Form the mixture into a log shape or into small balls.  Roll in Coconut.  Put into the fridge for approximately 4 hours.  Once set, cut the log into slices and serve

I've never seen Pascall Eskimos, maybe they are a NZ thing.

thanks for finding the pic. that's them! Yes, a kiwi classic. I think I must usually make a double batch - whole tin of cond milk, which is why I thought it had more butter! (Freezes okay, or lasts a while in the fridge....if it gets a chance!)

Thanks Uni, I have never heard of them much less seen them but then I don't spend any time browsing the lolly aisle so it is not surprising.

Couldn't you make a cake with any type of lolly and still call it a lolly cake? I would use pineapple lumps for my mum ;D

sure, a lolly cake, but it wouldn't be Lolly Cake  ;)
Seriously though, I have heard of pineapple lumps being used, but the eskimoes are more of a similar texture to the slice, and easier to cut.    Also tried one with dried apricots instead of lollies.  (sheesh, sounds like I eat it all the time!!)

Nice one to bump Chookie.  Can you use the low fat condensed milk, does it make a difference to these slices? I am going to make this one once I've done my shopping.

Can you use butter in home made condensed milk? I dislike margarine intensely.
Thanks.
