No bake best ever muesli slice.

125g butter
3/4c brown sugar
1/2c peanut butter
1/2c honey

1 c rolled oats
1 c rice bubbles
4 crushed weetbix
1 c coconut
1/2 - 1c dried fruit

Note that this is the basic mix only. Add in all types of seeds, nuts if you wish, cranberries, chopped apricots - anything goes. Try different cereals, different grains, etc.

Method:

Place first 4 ingredients into a microwave safe bowl and cook, stirring often for 5 minutes.
Combine all other ingredients in a large bowl and pour over the hotmix. Mix well and press into a rectangular tupperware container (or something similar).

Aternatively, sprinkle chocolate chips over the base of the container then put blogs of the hot mix over till it is all covered then press down. The heat in the mix is enough to melt the chocolate and when you turn it out, the bottom becomes the top with a fine layer of chocolate. Makes this very special.

fruit platter.

your choice of fruits, choco fish/pineapple lumps and arrange on platters.

Cheese boards are also good for those who don't have a sweet tooth

1 packet chocolate chip biscuits
½ cup muscatel or sherry - basically any cold liquid of choice can be used including fruit juice, fizzy drink, or of course, an alcoholic drink
1¼ cups cream, whipped

Dip (don't soak because the biscuits will become too soft and soggy) the biscuits, one at a time, in the wine, then spread each biscuit with the whipped cream.
On a serving plate line up the creamed biscuits to form a log. Cover the log completely with whipped cream. Decorate as desired with e.g. chocolate chips, crumbled Flake bar, a dusting of cocoa or drinking chocolate or..... Refrigerate for at least an hour - IMO it's best the next day although the outer coating of cream may become discoloured - to overcome that problem put the thinnest coating of cream on it when making the dessert then next day, apply another thin coating of fresh whipped cream and decoration of choice.

Hope that helps. :-))
