Not a very interesting recipe or hard to do, but my family and friends like it: Mars Bar Slice. Ingrediants: 4 mars bars, 125g butter, 4 cups rice bubbles. Melt mars bars and butter, stir into rice bubbles and then place in a greased tray and leave to set. I sometimes put little marshmellows in. This is rich and not good for those of you who have holes in your teeth :)

I made Rocky road yesterday man it was yummmy! heres the recipe and its sooo easy.
Grease tin well. Melt chocolate and spread layer on bottom of tin. Add Mini marshmallows, and gummi bears,and then add melted chocolate on the top and put in the fridge. So easy. I used Nestle Chocolate melts. If your pan is large, then you will need 2 bags of this. You can add nuts etc, I didnt as my daughter is allergic to nuts.

Ma Higgins-the first time this recipe appeared the flour was listed as Self Raising flour. When I made them they spread an awful lot and I wondered if I didn't have enough flour ...... do you know whether it should be SR flour or plain flour?

nickyd - 2005-05-02 16:37:00

Great thread I made the Bloody Good Chocolate Cake and Russian slice. Both will become regulars in our house.
Thanks

rodneydelwyn - 2005-05-04 14:32:00

hi nickyd... its deffinately plain flour! i also copied this recipe off this thread awhile ago and have made them so much,the batter should be quite tacky,but not able to run off a spoon,or spread straight out as soon as put on tray,they will come out huge and flattess anyway,i skip the part about leaving for 10 mins before baking and have never had a prob...I re posted this recipe on the previous page if you want double check?It says to add b.soda,normally you wouldn't add the raisng agent if using self raising...hope that helps?

hooch444 - 2005-05-04 17:10:00

Hooch444 I will give them another go then - the original recipe I printed off trade Me definitely has SR flour listed-but I did wonder -adding baking soda as well.....Can't find it on this thread now-perhaps it was on another thread? Must say they weren't the most stunning thing I've ever made-but perhaps the plain flour will make all the difference. Family still ate them all tho!

nickyd - 2005-05-05 22:19:00

nickyd... recipe posted at #647...they don't look that impressive,but they taste very scrumptous...don't give up!

linsgriff - 2005-05-27 17:55:00

Chocolate Fudge Cake It was/is wonderful. I didn't have any raisins or sultanas so I chopped up some dates really finely and added them instead.

jaxma - 2005-05-27 21:55:00

Melt and Mix Banana Cake (cos I hate creamin Its a Melt and Mix Banana Cake (cos I hate creaming the butter and the sugar!!!)and it can all be done into the pot! so saves dishes too! Melt 150g butter. Add 3/4 c sugar, 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Mix well. Sift 2c flour, 2tsp bpowder and 1/2 tsp baking soda on top of melted ingredients in the pot. Mix carefully then slowly add 1/2 c milk and 1c (about 2) mashed bananas. Pour into well greased and lined 20cm ring tin and bake at 180 C for 30-40 mins (check after 30 so it doesnt go for too long and dry out) This keeps really well and actually gets moister after a few days - ice with CHOCOLATE icing is the BEST!

jo-ann1 - 2005-05-28 14:05:00

This thread inspired me to make the cake today the cake above that is - forgot to put that in the post

jo-ann1 - 2005-05-28 14:06:00

zellas..lemon slice recipe this is yummy!!
Lemon Slice,
Place 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup icing sugar and 150gr butter in a food processor, mix until a ball is formed around the blade (don't use hard butter as it won't form into a ball).
Place into a slice tin and press flat.
Bake at 160C for 20 minutes. In same food processor bowl (not need to wash) 3 eggs, 1/4 cup lemon juice, zest of 2 lemons, 1 and 1/2 cups castor sugar and 1/4 cup self-raising flour, process until well combined.
Once base has cooked for 20 mins take out and pour in filling and place back in oven and cook for a further 15 - 20 minutes or until it feels sets in middle. you could spread some meringue over b4 baking..Delish!

campmum - 2005-05-28 16:54:00

That sound so divine ! Campmum, if I had the lemons handy I'd be baking that slice now! Well it's on the agenda for tommorrow - can't wait to give it a try but I'm sure it will be up to your usual high standard of delicious-ness!

smiley_cherub - 2005-05-29 17:35:00

my husband and kids were so excited!!! you guys inspired me as well and have just made the butterscotch fingers and yummmmmmmm!!!!!! I need to get some more sug and but and then will be trying more thanks heaps!!!

j4d - 2005-05-30 18:52:00

Re: Lemon Slice Finally got a chance to make it and I totally agree with Campmum ... it's high up there on the yummy list! In addition to your instructions I lined the tin with baking paper to come up a bit over two sides, making removal a lot easier and I also added a handful of coconut to the egg mixture too. Very thrilled with the result and will definately be making this slice again. Thanks for recommending it!

smiley_cherub - 2005-05-31 20:15:00

Weetbix slice help I have made the recipe off this thread a couple of times and both times it has come out very dry, crumbly. I have tried adding less flour, using a lower oven temp, even sprinkling the press mixture with milk to add mositure. Any other suggestions?

cebas - 2005-06-03 13:23:00

Hi cebas unsure as to what recipe you have, but I would probably use more butter..when you mix it all, use your hands to squeeze mix together..if it forms into a ball, it should make a nice slice..goodluck

campmum - 2005-06-03 13:51:00
