In the first episode of the Mamamia Kitchen I made Borlotti Bean Bruschetta and for my next trick I take on Nigella’s Peanut Butter Slice in a new apron.
Now, the first thing I thought when I saw this recipe was that it needed a biscuit base. Just for some crunch and to balance the intensity and richness of the peanut butter and chocolate bits.
I didn’t freestyle on the recipe because I need to get my confidence up a bit before I attempt that but afterwards when I did a bit of digging, I found that The Cake Mistress had had the same thought and adapted the same recipe to include a biscuit base.
Click through the gallery for a step-by-step guide on putting the recipe together and thanks to MM reader Jo M who made the suggestion. Also in the gallery, you can see photos of MM site co-ordinator Nicky and our office dog Henry. Lana was behind the camera but her hand did appear a few times in the video so she’s well represented.
What is YOUR favourite sweet treat? Please share your recipes if you have them. Or maybe something pre-made is your thing. I have a bit of a thing for choc bits at the moment……eaten after dinner.

Mia, Your presentation was so uplifting, and I had such a good laugh....shades of Fawlty Towers. A great concept for a TV cooking show and a real antidote to all the serious over the top cooking shows. I will be sending it to my friends.... Oh and I did like your hot pink bra.
I made this recipe and it is VERY VERY rich. Even for someone who loves rich things. I definitely think adding the biscuit base would be better.
I have been eating the tiny pieces in between two plain wafer crackers. It really helps to cut the richness!!
