This is one of the few slices I have had success with; I usually make biscuits. The recipe came from a Woolies supermarket brochure and we all enjoy it here.

I was planning to make this but have realised we are out of peanut butter and most dried fruits. I think DH ate it!

I've at last started to make this. I reduced the honey by half so I will be interested to see how it is. It looks so lovely that I have photographed it still in the bowl.

Troupie this is a bad, bad recipe. I ate a few chunks of it even before I put it in the tin. Then DH came home from upholstery class and between the two of us we have eaten half of it. It is really tasty. I left out 50% of the honey as I said and it is still sweet enough. I added 1/4 cup milk to make up for the honey I had left out.
I am going to make another one tomorrow afternoon as I have to take morning tea and lunch to a car day on Wednesday.

Thanks for trying it Cookie1; we don't like this recipe either but unfortunately my Thermomix keeps making it and of course, we have to demolish it so it wont go bad.
