This week, Roy wanted to make a sweet treat for some of his friends. He was having a group of them to afternoon tea and wanted something delicious to contribute. He also had some time on his hands, so he thought it would be a perfect time to try one of those recipes he has been putting off as potentially ‘tricky’. This slice was one of them and while delicious, it was a little fiddly to make – but well worth it. So this week Roy Creates Churchill Slice (and no, Roy doesn't know the story behind the name - if you know, please drop us a line!)
