Honey Joys??
I LURVE Honey Joys. This was always one of my favourite party foods that Mum use to make.
I was wondering if anyone thinks that instead of using patty pans and making individual honey joys that the same recipe would work as a slice?? Or would it be better to stick to the patty pans??
Thanks

If you wanted to make it as a slice you'd probably have to line the tray with baking paper
-
I would stick to pappy pans as slice may be too hard to cut into nice looking squares.
Good luck yum yum I love honey joys!
-
Thanks Ladies
Oh I forgot about the presentation side of things :lol: OK patty pans are the way to go then. I am going to make some for my Baby shower in a couple of weeks time. Them and some coconut macaroons (another childhood fav)
Both will be quick and easy to make the night before ;)

Dont make then any earlier as you will want to eat them all!!!\
Hehe oops thats me that would do that LOL
-
I've been making Honey Joys for the kids for afternoon tea - so quick and easy.
As an extra special treat - i've been adding choc chips to them as well. Yuuuummmmy!
-
:rofl: nope that would be something I would do as well :lol:
I have decided to just bake my Baby Shower Cake rather than doing extra cupcakes as well for that very reason. Between DH and I my white choc mud cupcakes don't last :lol:

... oh NaeNae yeh my fond childhood memories are of Honey Jumbles as i knew them and YES coconut macaroons too (not to mention Chocolate slice, Anzac Biscuits, Black eyed suzie biscuits and Raspberry slice ;)) ...
Nae could i PLEASE i ask you for your Coconut Macaroon recipes :pray: xox
-
If you wanted to make a slice, you'd have cut it when it was still hot, I would think. But individual ones would look much better.

S4U - This is the one I will be trying on the day. The recipe that mum used is in an old cook book. I'd ask her for it but we have barely spoken through this pregnancy (long story)
Coconut macaroons
Preparation Time - 10 minutes
Cooking Time - 15 minutes
Ingredients (serves 10)
? 195g shredded coconut
? 4 egg whites, at room temperature
? 1/4 tsp salt
? 170g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
? 2 tsp vanilla essence
Method
1. Preheat oven to 170?C. Line 3 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Spread the coconut over 2 of the trays and cook in preheated oven, tossing occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate.
2. Use electric beaters to whisk the egg whites and salt together in a large, clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk for a further 2 minutes or until mixture is thick and glossy.
3. Add the vanilla essence and whisk to combine. Add the toasted coconut and use a large metal spoon to fold in until just combined.
4. Spoon tablespoonsful of mixture onto lined trays, leaving about 2cm between each. Bake in preheated oven, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 12-15 minutes or until light golden and firm. Set aside for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container.

Am curious now... I think a Honey Joy slice can be done...lol
Will add Cornflakes to the shopping list and give it a test run this afternoon and let you know :)
-
... hey Alexis did you make them ? If so, how did they ' turn ' out (i'm a big fan of most sweets as a slice) :D
-
-
Couldnt do it yesterday, will try tomorrow and let you know :)
-
you can make it as a slice, you will just need to cut it before it sets completely and use a hot knife.
I am making my mums version of it this afternoon, but instead of using cornflakes we use rice bubbles and call it "Honey Bubble"
you will need to line the tray with greased baking paper though:D
