CWA baking goodness

I baked this chocolate slice today (excuse blurry/dodgy photo!) from the excellence that is the Country Women's Association (CWA) Biscuits and Slices cookbook. Those ladies sure do know how to do good biscuit and slice. Recipe below.

We had some lovely visitors today - my old uni friend R and her tiny baby S. Baby S was so so tiny and so so adorable. She was born 5 weeks premature, so R and I had a lot to talk about (as Little Miss L was born 8 weeks premature).
