Well I just posted my dinner, Proscuitto Wrapped Chicken with Roasted Capsicum and Basil Sauce so now it is time for something sweet!
I did have some perfectly cut bars of these but my lovely partner took to work before I got to take a photo. So here is a photo of the scraps! Haha Trust me when I say they taste better than they look!
These are a magazine cut out I have had for many many years and always wanted to try. I am unsure where this originally came from. I have tweaked the quantities slightly to reduce the sugar etc and added vanilla as I’m a huge vanilla fan!
These are so yummy and chewy. Somewhere between a chewy biscuit and a dense mudcake. I haven’t tasted anything similar. Very very yum!!!
They will keep for approximately a week in an airtight container. These can be frozen.

Description
These are so yummy and chewy. Somewhere between a chewy biscuit and a dense mudcake. I haven’t tasted anything similar. Very very nice!!!

I want to make these now! I haven’t got glucose syrup though, do you think golden syrup would give the same consistency?
No sadly. Glucose syrup is needed for the chewyness.
Delicious and great tasting slice. I ‘sprinkled’ choc bits over the slice before placing in the oven…..yummmm
These are incredible. I could eat the whole tray. Exactly the texture I love. Now to restrain myself until my daughter comes home from school…
super yummy! Only problem with them is knowing when to stop – sooo moreish!
amazing chewy yumminess!!
OMG – that’s what these should be called! Deliciously chewy and a diabetic nightmare but oh so yummy!
My sons loved these and I had to stop myself and them from eating them all at once! Yum!
