Does anyone have a killer tray bake recipe? This is the one I make most of the time and it's usually great. But I'm looking for some other good ones.

1 lb Digestives
5-6 teaspoons cocoa powder
8oz Marg
8oz Chocolate eclairs
3-4 tablespoons golden syrup
Bar of chocolate

Crush digestives and add cocoa powder
Melt marg, chocolate eclairs & syrup in microwave
Add to crushed digestives/cocoa powder
Pour into tray
Melt chocolate and pour on top

Hello Doonhamer


I'll move your thread over to the 'Old Style' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

That sounds so gorgeous! You could add dried fruit, apricots etc or desicated coconut for a change. Or try using a different type of biscuit in it?

Do you want cold things or actually "baked" things?
My traybakes are more cakey:

6oz butter or marg;
6oz caster sugar;
8oz SR flour
1.5 tsps baking powder;
3 eggs;
3 tblsps milk.

Preheat oven to gas 4. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment. Zhuzh all the ingredients together in a food processor for a couple of minutes. Bake about 30-35 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin; ice; cut into squares.

You can replace the milk with 3tblsps of cocoa and 3 tblsps water mixed together to make a chocolate cake; add chocolate chips to the basic mixture; add 8oz sultanas and maybe a teaspoon of mixed spice to make a fruit cake (sprinkle top with demerera sugar 3/4 way through cooking to make a crunchy topping); make lemon or orange versions by adding appropriate juices to the mixture etc. etc. Icing, by the way, is 3oz butter, 8oz icing sugar, 2oz of cocoa and 2tblsps of milk for a chocolate version; lemon juice and icing sugar for a lemon version; orange juice and icing sugar for an orange version etc. etc. These are all much less faff than fairy cakes and very popular with kids!

My other traybake is flapjacks:
8oz butter;
8oz sugar;
2 tblsps golden syrup;
10oz Tesco value porridge oats (this is what they were invented for!);

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3. Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan; add oats. Spread in tin lined with baking parchment (can you tell I don't believe in washing up much?!) and bake approx 35 mins.
To this basic recipe I usually add 2 tblsps sunflower seeds, 2 tblsps sesame seeds and 2 HUGE tblsps peanut butter. They are extremely nice plain, but they are wonderful with the added ingredients, plus I can kid myself that they are somehow more GI with the added "wholefood" ingredients (the seeds, not the peanut butter particularly!). You can also spread chocolate on the top if you're that way inclined.

Hope this is the sort of thing you're looking for - have fun!

You can put on weight just reading the ingredient list.

That's what I was thinking before I came to your post.

Hi there,

Over the weekend, I made Jamie Oliver's Chocolate Fridge Cake, which is really yummy (only three bits left!).

Jobbingmusician posted it on another thread back in December, which can be found at: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=1218180. It's post number 43.

I did change a couple of bits. Tesco didn't have any pistachio nuts, so I replaced those with 100g of raisins. I left out the glace cherries as OH doesn't like them (I, on the other hand, could eat them straight out of the pot!). The recipe also states "good quality chocolate". I used a 200g bar of Tesco Value milk chocolate, and it is delicious.

Hope this helps
