Blog comments Your Say

  • Anne's Vanilla & Almond slice sounds lovely (and easy) but the ingredients listed include coconut & melted butter which are not listed in the method. Do they form part of the almond topping or are they mixed into the base?
    Thanks, Jane & Kevin, for a great show and some lovely recipes.
    Regards, Kaye
