The hydrogenated oil is melted and combined with the dry ingredients. The mixture is poured into a rectangular baking tin and left to set, usually in the refrigerator. Once set, it is cut into squares for eating.
It is a popular Christmas food item, especially as it can easily be made by children.[3]
