Milo Slice
I first made this Milo slice years ago and followed the recipe and found, although it came out dry, I seemed to like it, it was something I knew I wanted to make again, but it needed a little adjusting. Since then I have made some adjustments and now I love this.
We pretend this is a healthy slice in our house, as it has oats and uses brown sugar. It is a simple slice, a bit of melting and mixing going on. The flavour is not too sweet, which I do love.
My kids love it to, they think it is great. I added chocolate chips to the mix, I found it needed it. You can also use roughly chopped up chocolate blocks or chocolate melts, I just snap these into smaller pieces.
With regards to the topping I go two ways with that, sometimes I just sprinkle icing sugar on top, other times I add the chocolate topping.
So if you are looking for a sweet treat, that isn't too sweet, give this a try, it is something my family loves, hope yours does to.
