Thanks for sharing the recipe griffo4.It should be a very nice sweet treat and I agree it looks interesting -easy too and it should appeal particularly to those who prefer a very short ingredient list, although they're not necessarily low-budget items.:-))

Hi macwood2, obviously I'm not griffo4, but I read "Pour choc buttons over top till melted" as being that the unmelted chocolate is put on top of the bubbling "toffee" mixture as soon as it is taken from the oven and then when the chocolate has melted, the toppings (pistachio nuts and cranberries) are sprinkled over.:-))

schickenmcboing did you crush up the salada crackers as l just put them in and they floated to the top in the oven then l put the choc buttons on top but they are the no melt ones obviously so l will find out when it cools down l roasted the nuts before putting on top but the apricots and coconut also sound nice

Help, I'm half way through making this, already buggered up as I printed off recipe before the later posts were added about breaking up crackers.However, PLEASE TELL ME IF 500G OF BUTTER IS CORRECT!SEEMS AN AWFUL LOT & IS TOO MUCH TO MIX WITH ONLY 1 CUP OF SUGER.PLEASE HELP QUICKLY NEED HELP!

yep that is right and works fine

Hi, griffo4, thanks for that reply.So when you melt the butter and sugar, it doesn't blend together like a sort of syrup!Mine was just like melted butter and a bit of brown melted sugar at the bottom of pan, still very seperate.

webbo2, obviously I'm not griffo4 and I haven't made that slice, but I'm wondering if you only melted the butter with the brown sugar or did you actually do as the recipe states i.e."Melt butter & sugar & bring to boil 3 min until changes colour."- did you boil the melted butter and sugar for the 3 minutes as stated!:-))
webbo2,
Aug 22, 2:25am
Hi 245sam, yes I did boil it for 3 minutes, actually I did it longer in the hope of it combining as it does in other recipes, but there was just so much butter 500g and only 1 cup of sugar.This is now bugging me as it sounded so good.What I have created is awful and I'm going to have to take it back to the drawing board to see if I can salvage something edible.Might re-boil the whole thing and add a can of condensed milk.
griffo4,

l melted it and mixed it and boiled it for longer than the 3 minutes until it started to have those small bubbles and then poured it over the base
l was thinking this afternoon that next time l make it l might use the honey rice bubble recipe, less butter, and put that over the salada and bake it from there and try that Mine mixed in quickly, but l did stir it Please don't think l am being smart but did you use brown sugar! l hope it turns out and you don't have to waste it
webbo2,

Yep I did use brown sugar.I wonder if it was because I did it in my new stoneline frypan.Although I don't think that should make any difference.I only used it as it's really heavy and things don't burn.I so want to make it again, it sounded really good.I didn't bother to put the pistachio's 77 cranberries on, I'd givenup by that stage! By the way, should it be 1/4 of the box of salada's as there was 2 packets in the box!
