Hi Southerngurl .Thank you for your reply. I know the square, but like you I cant think of name.

My favourite is because it is so quick and easy and can also be used as a base to a peppermint slice. Chocolate Coconut Slice.

I have posted my favourite many times previously but here it is again for you.....
My all-time favourite.....CARAMEL CRUMBLE
This slice is very like Tan Slice but just stirred together with no creaming of the butter and sugar. As its name suggests its topping is more crumbly but personally I like it better - to make and to eat!! It freezes well too if you want to hide some away for another time.

Caramel Topping:
½ x 395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp golden syrup,
¼ cup brown sugar
55g (2oz) butter

Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl over hot water for 5 minutes, then allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Base:
1½ cups flour.
1 tsp baking powder
115g (½ cup) sugar,
½ tsp vanilla essence,
115g (4oz) melted butter

Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the vanilla essence and the melted butter and mix to a fairly soft crumbly consistency. Press approximately two thirds-three quarters of this crumbly mixture into a greased sponge roll tin, then spread the caramel topping over. Sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture.
Bake at 180ºC for 20-30 minutes.
Allow to cool then cut into fingers or squares. :-))

I really like the Takaka Oaty Ginger Slice that's been featured here many times in the past.

Me too - but I put sunflower and pumpkin seeds in the base and crystallized ginger in the icing. Just a few changes I have made for myself over the years.

I made Texas slice - I got the recipe off of here, it went down very well with all the work mates, expensive to make but worth it

Is this the one dibble35?

Here we go! I use a bit more butter in the base, as i found it a little crumbly, otherwise the recipe below is the original.

"YUMMY TEXAN SLICE
100g butter, melted
250g malt biscuits, crushed
2 cups walnut pieces, chopped roughly & lightly toasted
1.5 cups milk choc buttons, chopped (I left mine whole)
1 cup sultanas
3 cups desiccated coconut
500g sweetened condensed milk (about 1.5 cans)

Mix together butter and biscuit crumbs, press into 20 x 30cm slice tin, greased and lined with baking paper.
Mix together all other ingredients and roughly press into tin. Bake at 160c for 30 mins or until lightly browned. Don’t overcook. Should be moist and sticky.
(Cover with baking paper if starting to brown too quickly)
Cut when cold. Makes 18 pieces. (I cut mine smaller).

I would love to share my shortcake recipe here - I use any canned fruit I have available - Delish Apple Pie filling is the standard - but the other day used peaches and pears drained and was lovely! But your own stewed apples would be even better

The crust is so light and flavoursome and super easy

I love ginger crunch or lemon & coconut slice but most slices I find far too sweet especially the ones you buy from bakeries - just taste sweet rather than having any individual flavour to them, very generic

My late sister in the US gave me this recipe about 15yrs ago....she'd be tickled pink to know this is being enjoyed here in NZ. I still make it and it is still popular in our household!!

Came across this one the other day in my book, I had forgotten how good it is.

Coffee Slice
4oz butter
1/2cup sugar
2 Tblsp coffee essence (coffee and Chicory)
1 tsp vanilla
Cream together and add two eggs one at a time, and mix well
Add 2 heaped cups flour and 2 tsp BP
Put in fridge for a while.
Roll out in 2 pieces, ( I roll out 1/2 the mixture, then cut into 4, it's easier to lift into tin and press down nicely ) Same with the top piece> It can be made straight on to cold oven tray.
Cover bottom piece with lots of raspberry jam, cover with second piece and bake mod oven 20-30 minutes, till beginning to brown. Ice when cold with coffee icing made from the coffee and chicory

Ha ha whoops...who saw that??

This is quick, easy and no-bake!
CARAMELLO SLICE

ingredients:
250g (1 pack) of plain biscuits (I use superwines)
200g (approx 1/2 tin) of condensed milk
220g block of Cadbury Caramello Chocolate
125g of butter
2 x 220g blocks of Cadbury Milk Chocolate

Instructions:
Line a 28cm x 18cm slice tray with baking paper making sure you leave paper hanging over the sides to help remove the slice from the tin once set.
Crush the biscuits into small pieces - you can use a food processor, or just bash them with the end of a rolling pin!
Break the Caramello Chocolate into squares and place it into a microwave bowl along with the butter (which has been cubed) and cook until melted - I cook for 30 second spurts and mix together in between.
In a large bowl add the melted butter & chocolate, condensed milk and crushed biscuits. Mix together to combine and then pour into the prepared tray.
Using a metal spoon, spread slice evenly over the tray and push down to smooth.
Break the milk chocolate into pieces and place it into a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 second spurts until it has melted. I add a dash of cream and stir in so that the icing is not so hard.
Pour the melted milk chocolate over the top of the Caramello Slice and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.
Remove the set slice from the baking tray and cut into pieces.

There's one I love which is apparently in a Scots college/Queen Margaret college recipe book fundraiser although I've never been able to find the recipe

It's just plain chocolate on top and has nuts on the bottom I've asked on here before and no one has the recipe!!! I've only had it a couple of times but it is the best!
