Mars Bar Slice

This slice may just be the easiest slice ever- its basically melted Mars bars and butter, mixed with rice bubbles and topped with chocolate. My great-grandma, who we called Lolly Nan, used to make a Mars Bar slice similar to this. It's really yummy!

You will need:

• 90g butter
• 3 x 85g Mars Bars (or 5 x 52g Mars Bars- I used caramel Mars Bars but you can use normal ones)
• 3 cups Rice Bubbles
• 200g milk chocolate

Roughly chop the Mars Bars.

Place in a microwave safe bowl with the butter.

Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on medium and then stir.

Pour the Rice Bubbles into the Mars Bar mixture one cup at a time and stir.

Press mixture into a baking paper lined slice tin with the back of a spoon.

Then break the chocolate into squares and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute on medium and stir. You might need to microwave it for an extra 20 seconds if it's not completely melted.

Pour the melted chocolate over the slice and spread evenly. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

Once chocolate has hardened, remove slice from tin and place on a chopping board. Wait for it to come to room temperature before slicing it.

You can also use a cutter to cut out shapes from the slice.

This one got cracked because it was too cold when I cut it.

Easy and yummy. Enjoy!

Date Crumble Slice

Mmm! Date crumble slice! It's like a crumble, but in a slice. And it's very rich but very yummy.
Here's what you'll need to make it:

2 cups chopped pitted dates, 1/3 cup sugar, 185g butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 1/3 cup of plain flour, 1/2 teaspoon bi-carb soda, 1 1/2 cups rolled oats.

First up, combine dates, 1 cup of water and sugar in a saucepan.

Cook, stirring for 10-15 mins or until dates have absorbed liquid.

This is what they should look like. Set them aside to cool.


Meanwhile, you can make the crumble. Cream butter and sugar together in electric mixer.

Sift flour and bi-carb soda over the creamed mixture.

Stir to combine. Add oats and mix together.

Press half the crumble mixture over the base of a greased and lined pan. I didn't get a picture of that because my camera kept going flat.

Then spread the date mixture over the top of the crumble base.

Gently press the remaining half of the crumble mixture on the top. Bake for 35-40 mins or until golden.

Mmm yummy! Some cream or ice cream would be good with this as it is quite rich.

Enjoy!
