Recipe link – I mixed the walnuts in instead of putting them on top accidentally.

So I have been asked to make a slice for an event coming up. “Any slice will do”. Any slice?? There is like a thousand different slices, that are all awesome. How am I meant to choose??

The way that is best, especially considering I am on a no-eating-baking kick, I will make some slices and take them to my family to vote. I know this family is kind of crazy on the high calorie foods so I’m gonna skip the fruity/lemon/blueberry crumb bars all together… I hope this is a good decision!!

Tonight I will be making:

  • Caramel Mocha Nut Slice
  • Caramel White Chocolate Macadamia Slice
  • Coffee Toffee Bars
  • Florentine Slice

I really want to try out Nanaimo bars but I think they don’t quite keep up with the standards of the rest. My flatties and family are gonna be stoked with the leftovers…. off to the supermarket to buy CALORIES kthxbai

edit: decided against caramel white choc macadamia.. maybe next time…
