My Current Favourite Sin

• So when I tell you that you will LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe, I'm not lying.  I'd be VERY surprised if you try it and don't totally get why it's called Magic Slice.  It's soooooo good and I just can't seem to get enough of it... neither can my husband or any of my family members who keep dipping into the tupperware container in the fridge every time they visited in the past couple of weeks. 

It's SUPER easy to make which is always a good thing when you are busy and hate anything that requests that you "cream the butter and sugar"... blah!  I found it in the Ripe recipe book (which is fantastic BTW), but apparently it's just from the back of a condensed milk tin.

I'm going to try to avoid making this again for a week or so because I think I've eaten more than my fair share and need to do a lot more Zumba to work it off.  Boring!!!

The thing I love about a recipe like this is that you can substitute to your hearts content.  The first time I made it, I didn't have any sliced almonds or sultanas in the pantry, so I used walnut pieces and cranberries and it was just scrumptious.  It would also be great with dried apricots and macadamias.  Mmmmmmm.

I'd love to hear from you if you give it a go.... but be warned, one piece is never enough!

Magic Slice

• 1½ cups (180 grams) plain biscuit crumbs (I use super wine biscuits)
• 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup chocolate bits, melts, chips (whatever takes your fancy) - I use dark but you could use milk or white too
• 1 cup sultanas
• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 375g tin of condensed milk
• 
  
• I blend my biscuits up to get a fine crumb.  Mix with melted butter and press into swiss roll tin using the back of a metal spoon.  Cover and refrigerate for approximately 15 mins. 

1. Mix all remaining ingredients together.  Gently poor over the base and bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden. 

Wait until cold to cut.  

I keep it in the fridge because I love the texture.

YUM YUM YUM.  Just typing this out makes me want to make it right now... but I will have a glass of water and take myself to bed instead!

Let me know how you get on!  Oh and sorry there isn't a photo... we ate it all before I even thought to take one.
