mrscroft:thats a great tip with the jam - let me know how you go
No, the filling is nothing like what they use in the supermarket, but i guess you wouldnt get the shelf life from real butter.
This is the recipe that they have released for us to make so I guess its the closed equivilent to the commercial process.
We found them delicious either way and they only lasted a day in our house before they were all eaten
Thank you for adapting the recipe, lets see how they go and I will provide feedback next week
Other people have commented that the filling doesn't seem as sticky as the Arnott's biscuit you buy in the supermarket.
I read somewhere that if you pop the jam on one half and return that half of the Monte Carlo to the oven for a couple of extra minutes, you get that sticky texture like the Arnott's ones. I'm going to give this a try on the weekend.
