Hi everyone!
One of my favourite things about Birthdays is the cool presents you get, (yes I admit to being such a child – smile), in any case this year I received the most awesome cookbook from a dear Kiwi friend – written by Kiwi teenager Amelia Ferrier.
Being a hot summers day this was the first recipe I simply had to try:
No-Bake White Chocolate, Peanut Butter Slice
Recipe:
Prepare 20cm x 20cm slice tin (either grease tin or line with baking paper)
Base:
- 375g plain biscuits – crushed
- 1 & 1/2 cups dried dates – chopped
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 100g butter (original is 150 but I think 100 is enough)
- 395 g sweetened condensed milk
- pinch of salt
Method:
- Melt butter, condensed milk and salt in small saucepan over medium heat
- Pour over crushed biscuits, dried dates and coconut and mix to combine,
- Spoon into prepared tin and press down firmly to flatten – refrigerate.
Icing:
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 250g white chocolate
- Crushed nuts
- Handful crushed pretzels
Method:
- Melt white chocolate in either microwave or in a bowl over a pot of simmering water
- Add peanut butter
- Spread icing evenly over the base
- Decorate with crushed nuts and a handful of crushed pretzels
Put in fridge until cold – personally I found it tasted much better the next day 😉
Serve as a slice with coffee
or add a little fruit as after dinner desert
…and just to prove to you it tastes good – some 3rd party evidence – smile!
A big thank you Sandra for the cool birthday present!

Dates on ingredients list but what do you do with them as they are not mentioned in method?
Thanks for pointing out Audrey, these are now included.
Have a great day.
