looking for a recipe for tray bakes

[Deleted User]

Hi i have some visitors coming next week and the husband has a very sweet tooth.I am looking for some tray bake recipes ,with either coconut & cherry or chocolate in.I have known my friends and her OH for over 40 years and Rob is the same size he was when they married, (very skinny ) yet he can get through lots of cakes and just burns it off so I thought if I could fill my cake boxes up with lots of small sweet tray bakes it would help keep him filled up.:D

Hey JackieO :hello:

I made these florentines this weekend, they might do the trick for you:

Florentines

Base
8ozs digestive biscuits
4 ozs marg / (I use butter )
1 oz soft brown sugar

Melt butter, add crumbed biscuits and sugar and press mixture into swiss roll tin. (lightly greased)

Top
4 ozs chopped cherries
4 ozs chopped walnuts (I buy walnut pieces cos I'm lazy )
2 ozs flaked almonds
Tube of Nestle condensed milk

Spread mixture over biscuit base. Trickle the condensed milk over the topping
Bake for 20 - 25 mins at 180.
Cut into squares when cold

Hi Jackie,

These contain both cherries and coconut, are very easy to make and always go down well:

Fifteens

15 digestive biscuits (crushed)
15 glace cherries (chopped)
15 marshmallows (chopped)
half a tin of condensed milk (approx 200-250g)
dessicated coconut

Mix the biscuits, cherries and marshmallow in a bowl with the condensed milk. Roll into a long sausage shape on greaseproof paper sprinkled with the coconut. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and then slice.

This thread has lots more recipes that may help:

Traybakes

Once you've had some more ideas I'll add your thread to it to keep the recipes together.
