Well Nay-Nay. I just made Nay-nay's fruit bars and they are delicious. I made mine with 125g dates and 125g of apple sauce. And I only had 100g of butter left so I made up the othe 20g with apple sauce as well. They have only just come out of the oven 10 minutes ago but I couldn't help my self but try one. They kind of taste like the weight watches apple crumble bars which I really like. Now I will wait for the kids verdict and let you know.  ;D

These are really delicious. We all loved them.


I have given them their own spot in the cakes section too.

My thermomix arrived Friday night and I think it's been going non-stop since then  ;D So much fun!

Stumbled across this thread and would like to try making them today. Can I just check what is the syrup in the filling - is that glucose syrup or golden syrup or some other syrup? Thanks.

Yeah - Golden. But you can use honey or maple or leave it out. Hope it goes well.  ;)

Yummo this recipe is delicious! Thanks Nay-Nay. They turned out perfectly. Made the date ones, now I've got an apple filling cooling.

Chelsea - can I ask how you freeze them. Individually or in an airtight container? I've never had much success with freezing baked bars. Thanks.

I put them in large ziplock bags and laid them on a tray in my chest freezer. I made sure they weren't touching in the bags until they were frozen solid. After they were frozen I removed the tray and they were fine to be tossed in (not laid out carefully).  :)

These look really lovely, just like the old 'pillows' I adored as a child.

I do think that you'd need to add bran or use wholemeal flour in the pastry to make them more nutritious for children, though.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
