Let's be honest here, with a name like the town bike slice, how could I not want to make this as soon as I saw it pop up on a newsletter from Stay at Home Mum? I was especially tickled with the explanation for the name of the slice: "Because it’s cheap, easy and everyone can enjoy it!"
It really was easy too. I was able to whip this up while Mr Fork and Ellie enjoyed some daddy/daughter time playing with her balloon balls. No need to mix or stir this recipe, it's as easy as measuring out a cup of each of the ingredients, layering then baking. My kind of recipe!
Chocolate chips - I used a mixture of milk and dark here.
Desiccated coconut.

Desiccated coconut.
Nuts - I used finely chopped peanuts and slivered almonds.
Rice bubbles.
Topped with a can of condensed milk.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees and allow to cool before slicing - that's it!
Now the most important part, the verdict. I'm a little sad to say that the town bike slice wasn't really a hit with Mr Fork and I. It was too gooey to take anywhere, so my plans of taking it to work to share were shelved as it really needs to be stored in the fridge and eaten straight away while cold. It's also a little too sweet for our tastes (and Mr Fork loves his sweets so that's saying something!).
It's probably not something that I'll make again but it was nice to try something new.
Have you had a disappointing food experience with something that didn't match your expectations?
