Ready for some weekend baking? These are perfect to make if you are stuck in lockdown or just gotten out of one and are seeing friends or family.
As we celebrate chocolate, we should also celebrate the chocolate combo's out there. And there aren't many combo's out there that are tastier than caramel and chocolate...This slice has beautiful layering, a crunch from the peanuts and the depth of flavour from the chocolate.
Using oats gives you a nice hit of fibre and by using Lakanto instead of sugar you are saving 212kJ per serve.
