The Sweetest Thing - Part 3

Fiona’s Hazelnut Slice

Fiona is quite a whizz in the kitchen and always has something yummy cooking.  I don't know where she gets the time being a busy mum of six gorgeous children.  Somehow she has absolutely mastered the sponge cake which is no easy feat.  This slice is one of her favourites and it’s one I have tried several times.  My only problem with it is that I can’t stop eating it and I don’t really like to share it with anyone else.  So I send you this recipe with love!

This is a quick and easy slice to whip up to share with friends or to take along to an event. The kids love it and you could adapt it for those with nut allergies (i.e. use plain chocolate and leave flaked almonds out). Fiona often doubles the recipe.

What you need;

1 packet Marie biscuits
½ tin condensed milk
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 small packet flaked almonds
125 grams butter
2 x family blocks Cadbury hazelnut chocolate

What you do;

Crush the biscuits and add the almonds (I suggest in a food processor if you have one).  Heat butter, condensed milk and syrup together in a saucepan over low heat.  Then mix all the above ingredients together.  Press into slice tin and set in the refrigerator until firm. 

Meanwhile melt blocks of chocolate in the microwave at a low power. Pour over slice and return to the fridge.  Allow to set and then cut into small squares

Handy tip - Fiona always stocks up on Cadbury chocolate blocks when on special so they’re on hand in the cupboard.

Thank you Fiona. 

Enjoy, my friends. xx
