These are a firm favourite in our house when we\u2019re craving something sweet, nostalgic, and just a bit<\/em> extra. Paul whipped up a batch of these Northern Irish 15s recently, and honestly\u2026 there\u2019s something about homemade that just hits differently. \ud83c\udf52<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve never had a 15 before, you\u2019re in for a treat. They\u2019re no-bake, super quick to make, and full of all the good stuff like marshmallows, crushed biscuits, glac\u00e9 cherries, and coconut. No fancy tools, no oven, just a bowl, some mixing, and a bit of patience while they chill (or don\u2019t, if you\u2019re like us and eat them chilled.\ud83e\udd2d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why are they called \u201c15s\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s as simple as this, the recipe has 15 of everything. 15 biscuits, 15 marshmallows, 15 glac\u00e9 cherries. It\u2019s a no-fuss, throw-it-together sweet that\u2019s been loved in homes across Northern Ireland<\/strong> for generations. You\u2019ll find them at bake sales, birthday parties, and tea tables all over the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best bit is when you make them at home, you get to skip all the unnecessary additives and weird extras you sometimes find in shop-bought treats. It\u2019s just simple ingredients and sweet nostalgia. The kind that sticks to your teeth a wee bit and reminds you of days out or granny\u2019s house. (Tho in my family it was caramel squares….ohhhhhhh now there’s the next treat to be made and that one\u2019s Seth\u2019s speciality! \ud83d\ude09)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\u2022 15 digestive biscuits, crushed \ud83c\udf6a
\u2022 15 glac\u00e9 cherries, halved \ud83c\udf52
\u2022 15 mini marshmallows (or more because let\u2019s be real \ud83d\ude0b)
\u2022 200ml condensed milk \ud83e\udd5b
\u2022 Desiccated coconut (for rolling) \ud83e\udd65<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Crush the biscuits \u2013 You want them crumbly but not dust. A few chunks are totally fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mix it up \u2013 In a big bowl, combine crushed biscuits, chopped cherries, and marshmallows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pour in the condensed milk \u2013 This is your sticky magic. Add it gradually and mix until everything sticks together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Shape into a log \u2013 Plonk the mixture onto a sheet of cling film or greaseproof paper and shape into a thick log.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Roll in coconut \u2013 Sprinkle coconut on the paper and roll the log around in it until it\u2019s fully coated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Chill \u2013 Pop it in the fridge for a few hours (or not if you’re impatient like us \ud83e\udd2d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Slice and serve \u2013 Cut into little rounds, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy. \u2615<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> If you want to take these to the ultimate homemade level\u2026 I\u2019m currently experimenting with homemade marshmallows. Yep, we\u2019re going full chaos in this kitchen. Watch this space. \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n\n\n\n
