All week, photos of empty supermarket shelves have been crowding my newsfeed.
There appears to be a nationwide shortage of Salada biscuits – and it is all thanks to this ridiculously easy and delicious dessert.
Mentioned as part of Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb’s podcast Chat 10, Looks 3, “Crack” is the aptly named addictive little treat that is sweeping the nation.
The original recipe was created by food blogger, writer and cook Deb Perelman at Smitten Kitchen.

The recipe is made up of eight ingredients, all of which can be bought for under $15 at your local supermarket, and is so easy even a total baking dunce could make it successfully.
You just need a box of Saladas, brown sugar, butter, dark chocolate, and nuts to make a slice of absolute HEAVEN.

"Preheat oven to 176·6°C." WHAT??? What sort of maniac gives such an oddly specific temperature? Who has an oven that is capable of that? I really wonder at the sanity of this.
Pretty sure in my supermarket the saladas sell out (if they do, they never seem to) because they have a good 2 for 1 deal on! But definitely will be trying this recipe
