Introduction

It all started when I put together a round-up style website post featuring all of the slice recipes on the Bargain Mums site. It was a simple post including a photo, short paragraph and link to the full recipe for each slice. It may have been simple, but you all loved it! To date it still remains both our most popular and most shared post.

Because the post had been so popular I decided to put together an eBook featuring the 17 slice recipes on our. The recipes in this book have been tested multiple times until they were perfected, and we can report they are all absolutely delicious.

Slices are the ultimate treat to share. They are portable, extremely easy to make, and I am yet to meet anyone who can’t resist at least one piece.of these slices (just about everyone goes back for more). This book includes both bake and no-bake varieties, and some can even be put together in little more than a couple of minutes.

We hope you enjoy making our creations.Enjoy,
