About

“I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t enjoyed these Salted Caramel Slices. They’re one of my favourite sweet treats. I made them in my Nourishing Sweet Treats classes and everyone made oohing and ahhing noises as they ate them, which is a good sign. I made them in a class for the Planet Organic team who get to sample some of the best treats in the world. They loved them and took the recipe sheets home to make again. Result! My approach to sweet treats is they should feel decadent and delicious b
