Sugar sugar....
Yesterday our friends little girl turned five (hip hip hooray!!) and I made this delicious slice to take along to her party.
Im a huge fan of slices and brownies, i actually prefer them to cupcakes or biscuits so Im always on the hunt for new combinations and recipes.

Ive made these 'Dream Bars' a few times now after spotting the recipe on Averie Cooks  blog - i was intrigued because I had never used a boxed cake mix to make sweet dough
I was also tempted because it had two of my favorite ingrediants,
Condensed Milk and Peanut Butter - seriously, I can happily sit and eat the stuff with a large spoon - both are so good! (bad bad bad!)
This slice has both a salty and sweet taste which is just ever so satisfying
and is best served in tiny little bite size pieces as its so rich!



Dream Bars - Recipe
Heat your oven to 180degrees
Slice base :
Golden Butter Cake mix ( I buy the Greens brand - usually on sale for $2)
125g soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 egg
Mix all ingrediants in a bowl until you get a dough like consistency and then spread out on a lined and greased
brownie pan

The Topping:
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup choc chip buttons
1/2 cup white choc chip buttons
Sprinkle over dough

Then in a bowl mix 1/2 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy) and a can of condensed milk and spread over the topping.
Bake until golden brown.


Eat and Enjoy!!
