I'm invited to friends' christmas parties only on the condition that I bring slice.
My fave is an almond slice:
1 pkt Marie biscuits
90g marg
1/2 tin sweetened condensed milk
2 Tbps golden syrup
50g flaked almonds
1 block roast almond chocolate
10g copha
Melt marg, condensed milk, golden syrup and almonds in saucepan. Add crushed biscuits and press into slice tin.
Melt together chocolate and copha. Spread over base and refrigerate.
You can make this with macadamias or cashews instead of almonds. I also often make 2 to use up the full can of condensed milk. In this case I use 1pkt Marie and 1pkt Arrowroot biscuits so that its not quite so sweet.
my mum makes an amazing one.... topped with choc icing that you put on while it's still hot so it all melts in, then it goes in the fridge.... *drools*
Will do... I think it's choc and pecan fruit mix, but she uses wall nuts and a fruit mix instead. It is heaven. Oh, and sprinkled with coconut shavings....
Ingredients:
150g Butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 cup sultanas
1 cup flour
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
for the icing:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp butter
3 tbsp hot water
Melt butter in saucepan large enough to mix all the ingredients. Remove from heat. Mix in sugar, cornflakes and sultanas. Sift in flour, cocoa and baking powder. Mix to combine. Press mixture in a 18 x 28cm shallow tin with baking paper lined base. Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes or until cooked. Cool in the tin and ice with chocolate icing (sift icing sugar and cocoa together. Mix butter and hot water together until butter melts. Mix into icing sugar to form a smooth, spreadable icing. Add more hot water if necessary.).

Triple Chocolate Crunch Bars (to DIE for! From the Fairtrade cookbook - so if you're likeminded, use fairtrade chocolate!).
250g softened butter
200g caster sugar
3 medium eggs, beaten
200g self-raising flour
50 g cocoa powder
50g dark chocolate, chopped
50g milk chocolate, chopped
50g white chocolate, chopped
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grease a baking tin with butter and line with a strip of greaseproof paper.
Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl using an electric beater until smooth and creamy. Add the beaten eggs a little at a time, beating continuously. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder and all the chocolate and spread into prepared tin.
Bake for 20-25 mins until the sides have set and the centre is still a little sticky. Remove, cover with foil and allow to cool before cutting into squares.
