Recently, Roy had been having morning tea with some of his friends. His Aunty Jill had made her fabulous Walnut Caramel Slice, a recipe which Roy has been hoping to get a copy of for some time. Luckily, his Aunty Jill was willing to hand it over, and even to allow it to be used in the blog, but he still had to try making it himself. His results were fabulous – the slice was easy to make and every bit as good as he remembered. So this week, Roy Creates Walnut Caramel Slice.
