Who’s up for a super-easy tasty slice, made from staple, low-cost ingredients? Everyone?? I typically double each recipe I try from grandma’s recipe book, so we have enough for at least a couple of days and to share with neighbours, etc. This Peanut Butter Slice, however, didn’t even make it through 2 days. The kids demolished it! I guess it is the un-toppable combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Who doesn’t love this??
Another perk of this recipe is it’s a good way to use up the crushed Weet-bix at the bottom of the box that otherwise end up in the bin. With the current cost-of-living pressures, we can all use any little frugal hacks we can find. Add those crushed Weet-bix from the bottom of box to some sifted flour with the other dry ingredients and you’re half-way there. Melt the butters; combine. Bake; done. (That is if you don’t want to add a chocolate glace icing). We decided to add the icing and just looked up a recipe online. I’ll add the link: https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipes/chocolate-glace-icing-recipe/qax4xs17
And that’s it, people! We topped some of our slices with some fresh raspberries for an added kick (if you’re feeling fancy :). We hope you enjoy baking this soul-nourishing Peanut Butter Slice (and eating it) as much as we did. Enjoy!
