Peanut butter – some (most) people love it. And if you’re one of them – you will love this recipe. This recipe is actually an old favourite of mine – I reinvented it the other day when my sister and I were craving a clean treat.
I can’t tell you how many times I have made this recipe. There has been numerous times when my best friend has come over and we have sat by the fire chatting and watching tv while eating each slice straight off the baking tray. We wouldn’t even cut the slices into squares or rectangles. They would be cut in all different shapes and sizes until the tray was empty.
It’s so yummy. Hope you enjoy and happy baking x

Hi Jess, could you substitute cashews or almonds for the walnuts?
Hi Emma,
Yes you could 🙂
