Peanut Brownie Slice

April 21, 2020 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Kiwi’s love their baking, their biscuits and their slices. One of New Zealand most loved homemade favourites is the timeless Peanut Brownie. There’s no household growing up that didn’t have these nostalgic biscuit lining baking trays, filling cookie jars and lunch boxes. In fact I ran a poll on Baker Gatherer’s Facebook a while back, asking kiwi their favourite homemade biscuits from the Edmonds cookbook. The clear winner was the Peanut Brownie, so I really wanted to celebrate this home classic by creating something new and delicious.

Using a buttery peanut brownie biscuit base, I’ve then topped this with a smooth peanut butter caramel (along with plenty more peanuts), before finishing it off with a rich layer of chocolate. I believe this Peanut Brownie Slice is a great take on the classic biscuit recipe we all know and love, plus I have to add, if you love a good Snickers chocolate bar, this recipe is a must try too!

So I think it’s time you added this new household favourite to your bake list.

I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh fruit slushies and frozen cocktail this summer. It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.
