Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy cereal
- 1 cup oats or chewy texture cereal
- 1 cup dried fruit
- 1 cup nuts or seeds
- 1 cup choc chips
- 395 g tin condensed milk
- Optional 1-2 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees C
- Place the 5 cups of dry ingredients in a large bowl
- The flour is completely optional, depending on the mix of ingredients you have chosen a little flour can help to bind things, if you have all lumpy ingredients with nothing small that mixes through, but if you have coconut, ground almond etc in the mix you don't tend to need the flour
- Pour in the tin of condensed milk, stir so that everything is covered in the condensed milk
- Decide if you are going to make cookies or a slice
- Cookies
- If you are making cookies,and you have a little flour to hand I would recommend adding a little to the mix
- Drop spoonfuls onto a lined baking tray or cookie sheet
- Bake for 5-8 minutes, you want them to be golden and a little bubbly, they will still be soft
- Cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes
- Slide baking paper off the tray and onto a cooling rack, cool completely
- Store in an airtight container, in the fridge if it's really hot and humid
- Slice
- Line a slice tin or cake tin with baking paper
- Press the mix into the tin so that it is even
- Bake for 15 -20 minutes until golden
- Cool in tin completely
- Slice into pieces and then store in an airtight container, in the fridge if it's hot
Notes
- Crunchy Cereal: Rice bubbles, puffed rice, cornflakes, toasted muesli
- Chewy Textrure: Rolled Oats, Quinoa Flakes, Desiccated Coconut
- Dried fruit: Raisins, sultanas, chopped dates, chopped dried apricots
- Nuts or seeds: Cashews, Almonds, Peanuts, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds

Love your recipes! What temp do you cook this slice at? It's not stated in the recipe. Many thanks...
Whoops 180 degrees celsius, I've fixed it
Is this slice freezer friendly? It looks drool worthy but I’m the only one in my home who can eat it.
It totally is!
Hi Stacey, I’ve just discovered coconut condensed milk in the health food shop, so you can make this dairy free too!
I absolutely loved this recipe, so delicious! Quick question though, I did the slice and it didn’t harden, was very soft after cooling down. I baked it for 20 minutes but guessing I didn’t cook it long enough. Can this be frozen? How long would it last in the fridge?
yep, it sounds like it didn't quite cook long enough, cooking times can be tricky as so many peoples oven run slightly hotter or cooler then what the temp says. Yes it can be frozen. Stores in the fridge for 5 days
I make this almost on a weekly basis, so quick, delicious and easily made to the tastes that I love!
Stacey can you use light condensed milk?, I have a tin to use up
I’ve used light condensed milk before but i find you need to increase the flour a bit to act as a thickener.

You are going to love this recipe as much as I and my whanau do!
I really love this. I’ve tried to make an oat based slice for years that doesn’t just crumble into dry bits. I’d love to have an alternative with a little less sugar, but I love how easy this is and versatile with whatever I have in the pantry! And it’s delicious!
