Ingredients
Marie biscuits 28
For Dipping

Milk powder 1/4 cup
Cocoa powder 1 Tbsp
Method
Method
Normally I use measuring cups and spoons as shown below in Cakes,Icecreams and puddings because they have markings(1 cup,1/2 cup etc) on them specifying their size and thus confusion is minimised.(These are easily available in markets.)
First prepare mixture for dipping in a separate bowl by adding milk,cocoa powder and sugar and mix it well.
Next prepare the mixture for applying in a separate medium sized bowl by mixing Icing sugar(can use powdered sugar also),Butter,Milk powder and cocoa powder.
It takes 5 minutes to mix it well.mix without lumps and form a paste.(I transferred it to a smaller bowl after mixing it.)
Dip the Marie biscuit in the dip mixture as shown below.
Place the dipped Marie biscuit in another small plate, and further dip the marie biscuits one by one and place them one above the other to form a tower.
Can make a tower of 14 biscuits,because given measure of paste can be applied for 2 such towers(14 biscuits each).
In the photo shown below the tower contains 10 biscuits.
Now apply the paste liberally over the biscuit tower to completely cover it with a spatula or use your fingers if you feel convenient.Ignore the mess now,can clean up afterwards.
Use a flat spoon to flatten the surface by moving from bottom to top of the tower and make the surface even.
If possible use a kitchen comb to give it a serrated look.
Freeze it for 1 hour.
After 1 hour,take it and place the knife on top of the tower and cut it vertically.
Cut the whole tower into slices and serve to the kids.Slices will vanish in a trice. :-)

Padma, How did you get the consistency of the 'applying mixture'. Mine was too crumbly so i added a little milk then it went watery ;)
no dont add milk in applying mixture..icing sugar and butter is enough for making as paste..if it is slippery to apply then apply with ur fingers..if u freeze it it will be in right consistency to cut.."crumbly" means exactly what happened? initially when u start mixing up it looks like coarse mixture..then butter and sugar melts and help it in becoming like a paste, it takes atleast 5 minutes to mix it well without any lumps..
