5::20 ~ Turkish Delight Slice {including recipe}
OCCASSION: A stroke of genius, really. Just to put it modestly.
BRIEF & RATIONALE: I made Mars Bar Slice. I thought it might go well using Turkish Delight instead.
SOURCE: My own recipe – see under the picture.
EASE OF MAKING: 10/10. Be lazy like me and you’ll only have one bowl and one slice pan to stick in the dishwasher. Winning.
CHILD FRIENDLY? Depends if you are willing to share chocolate, but in theory, yes.
REALITY V COOKBOOK: Not applicable.
TASTE: Off the scales delightful
FINAL VERDICT: Total and utter genius. And yes, I am modest, I know.
INGREDIENTS:
220g block of Turkish Delight
50g butter
3 cups of Rice Bubbles
200g block of milk chocolate
METHOD:
1) Break up the Turkish Delight into small squares and, keeping two individual squares, place into a heatproof bowl, along with the butter.
2) Place bowl over saucepan of boiling water, and melt the Turkish Delight and butter. The inner Turkish Delight jelly takes quite a while to melt, so don’t freak out, just keep stirring, just keep stirring, just keep stirring, stirring stirring.
3) While stirring and waiting for the mix to melt, take one of the two squares of remaining Turkish Delight. Open mouth, place chocolate inside mouth, close mouth. Chew. Swallow. This step is CRITICAL. What if the chocolate is POISONED? That could get embarrassing at your next take-a-plate function.
4) In a large bowl, mix the melted Turkish Delight and butter with the rice bubbles. The mix is quite thick, and won’t completely cover the Rice Bubbles.
5) Once you’ve mixed as much as you can, break the milk chocolate into small pieces and melt in a heat proof bowl over boiling water.
6) Take the sole remaining square of Turkish Delight. Yeah, you know what to do now. Can’t risk a fluke, now, can we?
7) Once the milk chocolate is melted, add it to the Rice Bubble mix, and stir until evenly coated.
8) Press the mix into a small slice tray line with baking paper and pop in the fridge
9) Make a cuppa and enjoy!
10) Pretend you know nothing about a slice when your friends come around after seeing it on Facebook.

Oh I’m a massive Turkish delight fan (so is Mr3). Once I’m finished on this low carb business (grrrr) I’ll give this a go.
Yeah, I don’t think this will fit in a low-carb program. Or low-fat, low-sugar, or low-anything really. High in decadence though!
Oh I agree! A stroke of genius!
what an interesting combination!!! I like the peppermint blocks.. wonder if that would work well…
That’s next on the list to try 😉
Oh you have my heart.. Turkish delight is my all time fave flavour.. so Ill be racing to the shops to buy a block and making this tomorrow… Might have to keep 5 squares to taste test on the way – ingenious recipe! ; )
definitely winning…. and bonus points as there is no gluten in it so i don’t have to modify to make! YES!
ummm, apparently I am missing something. I have NO idea what Turkish delight is… Please enlighten.
Definitely a stroke of genius there, Rach!
Turkish delight is Boatmans favourite and I know he would love this! I see a special date night recipe coming up!
