This is from the Chelsea sugar site and is the unbaked slice that I use most.You can easily leave out the apricots and make an icing with just a Tbs or so of butter/marge instead of the 100g specified in this recipe.I never include the coconut either.

Apricot Fudge Slice

125g butter
1/2 cup Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar
1/2 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 x 250g packet of wine biscuits, crushed
1/4 cup desiccated coconut to decorate

Lemon Icing:
100g butter
1 1/2 cups Chelsea Icing Sugar
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1-2 Tbsp hot water

Method

Heat 125g butter, Brown sugar and condensed milk until the butter has melted. Do not boil.
Add chopped apricots and crushed biscuits. Mix well. Press into a greased 20 x 30cm sponge roll tin.

Ice with Lemon Icing:
Beat butter until pale and fluffy. Add icing sugar, grated rind and lemon juice and sufficient water, so that you have a fluffy light mixture. Spread over the slice and sprinkle with coconut. Set in refrigerator. Cut into squares.

Here you go: NB you can vary the castor sugar requirement depending upon the sweetness of your peanut butter. Also yummy with choc chips added.

Easy Peasy Crunchy Peanut Butter Biscuits

1 cup crunchy Peanut Butter

1 egg

Preheat the oven to 170degC
Line a baking tray with baking paper, and spray the paper with cooking spray.

Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix, whizz, or beat well together until combined.
Place rolled balls of mixture ontothe tray and flatten with a wet fork,leaving plenty of room betweeneach biscuit as the biscuits spread a lot.

Cook for 15-20mins until light golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes,
then remove from the paper and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
