CARAMEL MARSHMALLOW SLICE

This recipe is a really old one I found in an extremely old recipe book. It is unusual in that, compared to most recipes published today, the ingredients are mostly listed by weight. This Caramel Marshmallow Slice was originally published in ounces which I have converted. The one variation I made for this recipe, which you will see from the photo,is that I added a drop of rose pink food colouring just to make it even more appealing (not that it's really necessary to try and make a Caramel Marshmallow Slice seem appealing to a house full of sweet tooths).
