I too think I followed the recipe and although the flavour was delicious the slice was so crumbly it wouldn't even hold together to pick up a piece! We ate it in finger-full pinches!
Slice is delicious and so easy to make even my son makes it now whilst he is away in Canada. Everywhere I take it everyone comments on it and wants the recipe. I give it a 5 out of 5. It's fairly healthy slice and even the younger kids love it.
I think i followed recipe to the T, but i found the slice to be a little dry and crumbly. Am I doing something wrong ?. The taste is yummy, so i would make it again. Just wnt to get it right ! Any helpful comments back to me will be appreciated.
This is a simply delicious slice - well liked by all who have tasted it. So easy to make. I have a tray in the oven at the moment - the fourth time I have made it in the last six weeks!
