yes, the children and I had already decided peanuts wouldnt be suitable for granny teeth! . We have made 5x times our usual mix, so I think approx 20 baking trays, our first 2 trays are in now and they are smelling great!

My husband loves peanut brownies, but with false teeth they can be difficult to eat. Now I just chop the peanuts fairly finely before adding to the mix (or I get him to do it if he's around! ). I guess I could do them in the food processor, but then that would be another thing to wash and dry.

This Russian slice recipe is very nice, it was posted by petal1955.
5 ozs butter 4 ozs sugar 1 tbsp golden syrup 9 ozs flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 egg 3/4 cup sultanas Melt butter, sugar and syrup in pot, stir until well mixed. Allow to cool, add beaten egg. Add flour and sultanans. Press into sponge roll tin and cook 1/2 hour, gas 4 or 350F degrees . Ice when taken from oven and cut into squares. We always had it iced with lemon icing. **I have made this often and everyone likes it. I put flaked almonds on the top before baking and omitt the icing. I also add a little grated nutmeg and almond essence to the original recipe.

vintagekitty, next time make the choc chip cookies with some added rolled oats. . keeps them chewy, not too crisp, and there's good roughage in there for the old folks.
