Fast bars

Ok, so they're not all that fast, but this is a no-cook slice which you make and leave to set in the fridge. It's a rich combination of fruit and vanilla; the final result is actually quite heavy!

Fast bars

Ingredients

• 80 g butter
• 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 250 g plain sweet (wine) biscuits, crushed
• 2 cups mixed fruit/sultanas
• Vanilla icing
• 1 1/4 cups icing sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 tablespoon boiling water

Method

1. Melt butter and brown sugar together. Mix in egg and add to crushed biscuits.
2. Stir in fruit and press firmly into a bar/slice tin. Refrigerate.
3. To make icing, combine all ingredients. (I found that I needed to use 1 1/2 times the icing mixture to cover the whole slice.) Cover slice with icing and cut into pieces to serve.

Makes 24 pieces.
