One of my BFF’s son is having a birthday party today, and I never like to go to an event empty handed, so yesterday I whipped one of my favourite slices. Chocolate and caramel are two of my flavour loves, so this slice ticks all the boxes!
You can even pretend it’s healthy – well it does have almonds and apricots in it – hehe 🙂

Simple, yummy and is the perfect party treat, ENJOY!
What would we do with condensed milk?
Yum. one of my fondest memories as a child was sneaking a spoonful of condensed milk from the can in the fridge lol
I used to have a tube of it in the fridge for sometimes adding to porridge, but that is too naughty so don’t anymore, but it was yummy to sneak a little bit when I felt like a sugar fix. 🙂
Mmmmm! I can taste them now. The apricots would be a wonderful addition and they wouldn’t last long at a party. Thanks for sharing a new treat option.
Have you ever made them with different fruit, like cherries or apples?
Have never tried with different fruit, but purely out of habit, their is no reason you could not change the fruit. I have made it once with walnuts and it was just as yummy. Actually walnuts and apples could be a good match. 🙂
Yummy That receipt looks delicious!! I’m going to have to try it =)
You will enjoy it, perfect party food, dangerous to have sitting in the fridge, oh dear, just remembered still have a little left 🙂
Oh my goodness that looks amazing! I eat a raw diet..but this still made my mouth water 🙂
It is wicked, and definately not passing the raw diet test. 🙂
