• 150g dark soft brown sugar

Preheat your oven to 160ºC/140ºC fan/Gas 3. Line a 20cm shallow square cake tin with non-stick baking paper.

Bake in your oven for 30 mins. Remove and allow to cool, and resist having a bite!

For the upper layers

Put the butter and sugar into a non-stick pan and heat, stirring until melted. Add in the condensed milk and stir continuously until the filling has thickened slightly. Immediately pour over the baked shortbread base.

Top with loads of Maltesers®. Leave to set on the side, cut into squares and enjoy!

Slimming World Pancakes

1 vanilla muller light
40g quaker oats
3 eggs

 Method:
 The night before you want the pancakes, mix the muller light into the quaker oaks, then leave in the fridge overnight.

 In the morning, crack the 3 eggs into something and whisk them up until the yolks and whites are well mixed, then mix that in with the muller light and quaker oat mix until it looks like a thick batter.

 To cook, place a fairly large (10-15cm diameter) biscuit cutter into a fairly hot frying pan, then pour in some batter until it's roughly 4-5mm thick (the pancakes will come out a bit like scotch pancakes) remove the biscuit cutter when you think it's cooked enough on the bottom, then flip when ready to cook the other side, remove from frying pan and serve.
