Who knew Sao Biscuits could be so nice?

A favorite of my sister and me when we were young, this recipie came from one of the many Tupperware parties my mother had.  I remember all the kids would be out the back playing in the sandpit while the mothers sat upstairs on the verandah and sipped tea.  We usually got the left overs for afternoon tea in our cubby house.

A variation on this slice is to make it with Lattice Biscuits, which do not need icing as you place the sugar side up.  My sister and I rather liked this one the best I think.
