Hey, A friend made this slice and it was scrumptious! I was wondering can I substitute some or all of the butter in the icing with cream cheese?
CHELSEA: We presume you can substitute as both are an emulsifier. Try it and let us know!

My family absolutely love this and still go on about it years later. This slice is a flavour sensation and so easy to make. It never lasts a day in my kitchen

I love this recipe. Have made it quite a few times. This last time I found it very uncooked tasting and just didn't look right so I put it in the oven 180 for 20 minutes. Came out looking and smelling delicious. I did not have any lemons so iced it with Orange icing and it was absolutely delicious. One of my Christmas favourites!

Easy to make and scrumptious. I did 1/2 the amount of brown sugar, after reading some of the reviews though.

I am adding this to my Xmas gift list. I will make and gift it to friends.

Best tasting slice ever and so easy to make.

Easy to make and tastes delicious

This slice is a delight to the tastebuds. A real family winner.

Having now watched the video I think the answer may lie in the biscuits. The recipe just states a packet of crushed biscuits. I put mine in the food processor and crushed to a fine crumb. But from the video it looks like the biscuits are in big chunks. Do you think this might be the reason that my slice did not set? If so, perhaps you should amend the recipe, as I think someone else had a query below as to how crushed the biscuits should be.
CHELSEA: Hi there, how much you crush the biscuits is personal preference and shouldn't affect whether the slice sets or not (unless you were to not crush them much at all). Using table spread instead of butter is much more likely to have an impact. Table spreads tend to be made from vegetable oils and have a higher water content than butter. Because of these different properties, they are not a reliable substitute for butter in many baking recipes.

Well I don't know what I did wrong, the only change I made was using table spread instead of butter, which is what I do with all recipes and never have a problem. . But this did not set AT ALL. It was just a gooey mess the next morning, and a total waste of ingredients. Any suggestions for making this a successful slice gratefully requested.
CHELSEA: Hi there, this is one of our most popular recipes and we haven't experienced it not setting before. If you use the correct ingredient quantities and follow the method you shouldn't have any trouble with it setting. Perhaps try it with butter instead of table spread and see if that makes a difference?

Just great!

So delicious, and super easy and quick to make. No baking, no fuss. I can't imagine anyone not loving this. Just a suggestion, I'm never sure how crushed the biscuits should be - maybe be a bit specific about this? I might have not crushed mine enough but I'm not sure. I'll definitely make this again... and again. Thank you.

A truly delicious slice.....love the tang of the apricots.....yummo! The Malt biscuits and the apricots go well together. We prefer it almost than a chocolate bar....nice strong cup of tea to go with it...the perfect combination!
