No Bake Honey Slice

A simple sweet treat to fill up lunchboxes or afternoon tea plates. This slice has a subtle honey flavour throughout and is super easy to make.

No bake slices are such a simple way to create a sweet treat for your household. No need to turn on the oven, no over baking and almost no risk of messing it up.

This one in particular was a huge hit at my sons birthday party a few years back and has regularly found its way into the baking rotation. Whenever a sweet honey craving kicks in this is most likely the recipe I will reach for.

Tips

You should definitely use a food processor to crush the biscuits up if you have one. It is by far the easiest and cleanest method! If you don’t have one then you can still crush the biscuits by placing them into a large, strong zip lock bag. Make sure you remove the air out of the bag before sealing it and then lay it on cleared bench top and smash away with a rolling pin. In the very likely instance that the bag tears, pops or just completely  explodes, just scoop the crumbs into your bowl and continue to bash it with the rolling pin handle. This is a great method if you have some inner rage to deal with!

• The biscuits can be substituted with any other plain, smooth un-iced biscuits. I have used the super-wine biscuits in the past without much difference in flavour or texture. To make this recipe gluten free, substitute the biscuits for gluten free arrow root or similar.

• The butter I use is salted but feel free to use unsalted if you prefer.

• The honey that I use is creamed clover. You can definitely just use any type of honey that you have on hand. No need for fancy expensive types here. Just avoid using super runny pourable varieties as this may not result in the same firmness for the icing.
