This really is an oldie, but a it’s a goody. Simple to make and one the kids like.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE (NO BAKE)
This is another of those slice recipes that Mum’s bowls club gathered together for their Simple Slices Recipes fund raiser booklet. Those ladies certainly had a great collection of recipes and enjoyed sharing them for the club.
HEDGEHOG SLICE with Rum and Sultanas
This is a modern version of the old Hedgehog recipe which only has walnuts added to the biscuits, cocoa and eggs. A couple of tablespoons of rum, pecans and sultanas would certainly step it up a bit.
JELLY SLICE (NO BAKE)
I think this recipe deserves a photo as the jelly topping would look and taste really good. It’s another one from Mum’s bowls club slices recipe book, which sadly has no photos at all. The book would have been put together well before computers and Photoshop. It would have been typed and the cover would have had to have been done at the printers – the good old days……
LEMON BISCUIT SLICE – NO BAKE
This recipe pops up a couple of times in Mum’s collection. The first one is pre-metrics so it dates from at least the 1970s. This version has been converted which makes it a bit easier for us now. It’s a pretty simple no bake slice, but it does taste lovely and lemony.
PEPPERMINT CRISP SLICE (NO BAKE)
Another one of the Keysborough Bowls Social Club slices. This would be a be a good one for the kids to do – although you might need to buy extra peppermint crisps for the cooks to sample during cooking.
HEDGEHOG
This a classic slice recipe, not just for my family, but for many Australian families. I’ve started with Mum’s original handwritten version and then added the typed version from my own recipe collection. On the side I’ve added the metric conversions. To be honest I’m not sure when Mum first started making it but I’ve dated it from the 1950s . I do know though that it still tastes great.
CHOCOLATE SLICE
Slices that used condensed milk and copha were very popular in the ’70s and ’80s. In our family there were quite a few recipes that were shared between Mum, my aunties and even by then my sisters-in-law. Instead of icing the slice this one uses a bar of milk chocolate as the topping. The copha is added in to prevent the chocolate cracking when you cut it.
CARAMEL FUDGE FINGERS
The old no bake slices were a quick and easy way to make something sweet for the family or visitors, especially in summer when you didn’t want to heat up the kitchen by using the oven. This one uses condensed milk and Marie biscuits and has flaked almonds on the top. If the almonds are a problem for you I’m sure you could use dried fruits or even choc chips instead.
