I have a recipe for a Wagon Wheel Slice, which has been converted to the TM, and I have made it and it gets the "thumbs up" from hubby who LOVES wagon wheels (but I refuse to buy them...especially after reading the ingredients list!)
Anyway - I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the recipe from, was wondering if anyone posted it in here?
I just want to say - thank you ;D for a yummy slice.
If it didn't come from here I'll post the recipe.
-
Is it from this site Nikkit?

Blimey Judy you are just amazing :o :-*
-
You would have found it if you were on at the time Denise ;D
-
Judy - you are a legend, thank you :-*
It is worth making this slice. I cut the sugar in the base back by more than half seeing as I had bought strawb jam, then the marshmallows and chocolate.
No photos sorry, the family have devoured it! But it did look like the picture on the recipe ;D
Did I mention that Judy is wonderful and she knows where to find EVERYTHING?! :D :D
-
Now I'm blushing (and giggling at the same time). Thank you :-* :-*
-
No worries Judy :) :-*

Donna Hay had a recipe for home made wagon wheels a few months ago, it might have been in the chocolate edition. .. they were really good, albeit a little fiddly...slice would be dangerously convenient.
-
I am going to make these this weekend (as soon as we finish the choc slice we already have). DH loves wagon wheels which are not readily available here, so he will be one happy man.
-
yum ;D

I made this last night before heading to basketball so it hasnt been fully taste tested but DS said it was great but the base was to cumbly which i did notice when i was cutting it. Nikkit was yours like that? any ideas to make it less crumbly?
-
I'm going to pretend that Judy didn't post the link for this, it looks so nice.
-
Wonder - yes mine was a bit crumbly now that you mention it - and I think a wee bit thick too. But I may not have pressed it down hard enough into the tin.
Maybe bake it a bit less in the first cook, so it doesn't dry out quite so much?
Darn...looks like I'll have to make it again and test out my theory ;D

I made this last night and it is a hit!
I had to use nearly a whole pack of marshmallows to get pretty good coverage, so maybe my slice tin was a bit bigger than it should have been. The slice base isn't crumbly though -maybe thinner works better? I did press down pretty firmly, and had also mixed it longer than the recipe stated until the base dough was coming together (was still very floury/dry after the time in the recipe), if that makes a difference.
It's a good thing I am taking most of it to an afternoon tea today as it is far too delicious!
-
Funny my base mixture was very buttery and soft, not floury at all! I think next time I'll try pressing down more firmly to get a thinner base as it also looks a bit thick to me.

Ah maybe that is the thing - mix it longer! I always mix cakes a lot less than the recipe says as I think the TM beats the poor things to death! This one obviously needs a good flogging!! :o
Will try that next time.
In the essence of research and development (and scoffing ourselves silly on yet another batch of wagon wheel slice :-)) ) Miss 17 made it again yesterday. Only problem was Miss 17 and I ate sampled tested a couple too many marshmallows and there wasn't quite enough to go right over the top :-)) :P ... you do need to use more than half a packet if you want them touching side by side ;D
Tip** don't test the marshmallows, you do need a fair few!
The base is still a bit crumbly and I cooked it 5 minutes less at the start, so will try jo's tip above.
I'd love to post a photo but it seems it's not only the marshies that have been well sampled! ;D ;D

Made this today for kids hip hop classes. Everyone really enjoyed it. I think next time I will heat the jam to allow for easier spreading.

Kylie - I did heat the jam (sorry I forgot to mention that!) and it does make it easier.
