    Hedgehog Biscuits, Hedgehogs are simple, unbaked biscuits that have been around for generations: an Australian classic! And a great lunchbox, snack and afternoon tea favourite! Hedgehogs can be made with or without nuts If omitting the nuts, use 1/2 cup extra of the biscuits As an alternative, you can use almonds or walnuts Adapted from a recipe from the Simply Great Meals Club website 125 gms = 4 oz , My oven has been unreliable so when called on to prepare a dessert this no bake option greatly appealed to me Very easy to prepare, this yield a rich ending I found coconut tea biscuits and used those for my base layer and replaced the hazelnuts with cashews on deference to the preferences to the intended recipient I found the cookie layer a bit too sweet and remained a little sticky even after chilling for 14 hours I might and suggest using salted butter to tame that just a touch The added coconut and nuts were delicious and next time I would include other dried fruits including raisins or currants
