Living in Australia, girlfriend is from Northern Ireland. So I decided I'd try making something reminiscent of her home, looking at some old posts on here I decided to try by making fifteens. Although when I brought this up to her she asked if I knew the secret to fifteens? I don't want to miss something as I'm trying to be as authentic as I can.

I'm following this recipe https://traybakesandmore.com/fifteens/

Does anyone know the secret? or is she having a laugh?

  2. The secret is to take those slimy wee glace cherries out and replace it with something more palatable like malteasers or something nutty and chewy

  3. Swapping the cherries out for maltesers is my preference. 

    And make a big ass batch, stick the logs in the freezer and plan to slice pieces off as and when needed long term but really just constantly go to freezer eating it and feel the shame of smashing what should be months of 15s in a few days. 

    But no real secrets. 

  5. The secret is selling them for £5 a slice like they do in the local cafes here.

  6. I personally prefer cherries to maltesers or white chocolate buttons. Come at me lads.

  7. I’ve had such shame for not liking cherries in my 15s but finding out it’s really common is fucking liberating.

    I hate cherries they’re fuckin stinking 

  9. You have to roll the log in coconut before you put it in the fridge.

  10. Swap the cherries (boke) for honeycomb. Definitely a game changer, that’s how my missus makes them

  11. Secret is to chuck the cherries and get some white chocolate chips in there instead.

  12. Throw in some mint aero bits…sounds dodgey but its a good addition

  13. I add milk and white choc chips and some honeycomb bits. No cherries!

  14. The secret is 15 k(g) of coke

  15. Don’t use real cherries. Has to be glacé cherries
    Anyone swapping out cherries are NOT eating fifteens so fuckup

    Your recipe looks fine

  18. The secret is providing a Gaviscon chaser for each one consumed

  19. They’re good when they’re slightly overly-wet IMO.

    ie a touch more condensed milk to biscuit ratio.

    But fifteens are absolutely S-tier regardless.

    I could genuinely house 5 of them right nai

  20. Those cherries cause cancer, don’t fuckin use them! I’m serious lad, use anything else.

  21. Dip them in melted chocolate about 1/4 – 1/2 way up the 15! Not a cherry fan but they aren’t really cherries anyway!
