Here’s Carli again with this week’s Recipe Monday! Remember if you have a recipe to share for Recipe Monday, send me an email 🙂
Okay so this RETRO slice is yummy, easy, feeds many and is cheap to make. Apparently it’s a recipe that’s been around for a long time and I reckon it should make a comeback. Maya didn’t believe me that we were making “marshmallows” until she tasted it.
Marshmallow and Weet-bix Slice
Base:
3 Weet-bix , crushed
1 cup SR flour
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup coconut
130g butter
¾ cup water
Marshmallow:
1 cup sugar
1 heaped dessertspoon gelatin
1 tsp vanilla
Melt butter and pour over dry ingredients.Mix well and press into slice tin. Bake in a moderate oven for 15-20 mins until just brown (not too brown!). Allow the base to cool. While the base is cooling, bring the water, sugar, gelatin and vanilla to the boil, and boil for 3 mins.Allow the marshmallow mixture to cool in the fridge before beating until light and fluffy. Pour over base and allow to set in the fridge.
Tips:
Use baking paper so the slice can be lifted out easily.
We sprinkled coconut over the top.
Marshmallow can be dyed any colour.
