White Christmas

White Christmas is a traditional Australian treat for many households during the festive season. Authentically containing powdered milk, glacé cherries, dried fruits and rice bubbles, this version omits the puffed rice and uses sweetened condensed milk rather than powdered for a truly indulgent and fudge-like result.
