These three-layered dessert squares are a favorite with Australians.

Jelly Slice

First Layer:
1 packet Marie biscuits (or use 20 vanilla-flavored wafers), crushed
3/4 cup (6-ounces) melted butter

1. Combine the crushed cookies with melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture into a 9 x 9-inch foil-lined baking pan

Second Layer:
2 (14-ounce each) cans sweetened condensed milk
Juice from 2 lemons
1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatine
1 cup boiling water

1. Beat together ingredients in a bowl and pour on top of first layer. Refrigerate.

Third Layer:

2 (3-ounce each) packages raspberry or strawberry gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water

1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. When cooled, pour on top of second layer.

Makes about 24 squares.

Note: Be sure to pour the flavored gelatin (third layer) on top of the second layer before it starts setting - if not, it will not stick.
