COFFEE CREAM BARS...Perfect Accompaniment to a Cuppa

My Mum always made these growing up, particularly when we had visitors or going to functions which required us to 'take a plate'. These coffee cream bars go perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee and as most of the recipes Mum has passed down to me, they are really difficult to stop at one. If you don't fancy raisins or walnuts you can leave them out, or substitute the raisins for sultanas, but at least once you need to try it with both the raisins and walnuts as the combination of these with the bar itself does have to be tasted to believe how scrumptious these Coffee Cream Bars really are.

                                    
                                                              COFFEE CREAM BARS

125g Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SLICE

There are many recipes out there for Chocolate Caramel Slice, but this recipe, passed down to me by my mother is by far the best I've tried.This recipe has great memories for me...I grew up with Mum making this for the family and now I make it as a treat for mine. I remember once when I first left home, buying one from a bakery....I was so disappointed by the taste that I didn't even finish it....and that is really hard to do when you're a fan of this slice. Just a warning though, it is very hard to stop at one piece......
