In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, halved glacé cherries, and quartered marshmallows. Mix well.

Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until the mixture becomes sticky and cohesive.

Place a large sheet of cling film on your work surface and sprinkle it generously with desiccated coconut.
-
Spoon the mixture onto the cling film and shape it into a log (about 2 inches thick).

Roll the log in the desiccated coconut to coat it evenly on all sides.
-
Wrap the log tightly in cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
-
Once firm, slice into 15 equal pieces and serve.
Notes
You can swap glacé cherries for maraschino cherries for a sweeter taste.
Add chopped dried fruits like raisins or apricots for extra flavor.
For a tropical twist, try adding dried pineapple along with the coconut.
Substitute plain biscuits with graham crackers for a lighter texture.
