Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I was at a 21st the other week and there was a slice with the
ingredients in the title...it was SO YUMMY! Has anyone got a recipe for
such a slice? It looked like it had copha and chocolate in it too..but
those ingredients were the only ones a friend sitting next to me could
remember the lady saying it had in it..

If anyone knows..please post it to me - temilyp at hot mail dot com

Thanks!

No idea what you're talking about. What's a 21st? A slice of what?

Here in Holland, Maria cookies are what Graham crackers are in the USA, I
beleive. And McVities in the UK, irc.

I don't knwo a recipe that includes those and hazelnuts and marshmellows,
though. I suspect it's possible to melt marshmellow and mix in chopped nuts
and broken cookies.

Precisely what I was thinking. Sure sounds like a s'more to me.
A version of it, at any rate. Slice, I have seen that word used in
Australian cooking, and I've been told what it was. And I forget.
I guess change the word to piece. I'm going for Nutella in place of
the Hershey bar.

A 21st is a 21st birthday party - although 18 is the age at which you
start having to vote, and are legally allowed to drink, many people still
have a big party for a 21st birthday.

A slice is what you would probably call a bar or a bar cookie.

A slice is like what you would call a bar or a bar cookie. You make it in
one piece in a shallow rectangular tin and then cut it into pieces. It
often involves layers - maybe a crust and topping, or a crust, filling
and top of some type.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. At my 21st birthday party I was given a bottle
of wine; no cookies, no cake One of the guests opened and drank the
bottle of wine, which really ticked me off. I didn't even know her; she was
just a neighbor from across the hall and my (now) ex-husband invited her and
her boyfriend over. I was really peeved! The bottle had a big bow on it
and a gift tag saying JILL!

HELLO! Do you just walk into someone's house and open a bottle of wine?

Hi Temily. Can you describe the slice more? Were the Marie biscuits
broken up in the slice or were they used as a base? Could it have been
like a hedgehog slice with hazelnuts for the nuts and marshmallows added.
I know they're not usual in hedgehog, but who knows. When you mentioned
copha do you mean to make a topping or mixed into the slice?

It's not ringing any bells, but if you describe it more I can check out
some of my books.

A 21st birthday party...

A slice as in...a slice, you know, a slice.....the thing you put in a
slice tray and back and then get it out, cut it up into squares and
eat....

What do you guys call it?

No, it's not a smore. A friend of mine sent me all the ingredients once
from the US to make the smores but noo..it has a different texture and
look to it. The marie biscuits (or any plain sweet biscuits) were in
the mixture with the marshmellows and nuts and then spread out in the
tin to make the slice. Nah it's not a piece either....it'd be a piece
of the slice. And....i'd say a cadbury chocolate bar would be the same
as the Hershey bar.............Nutella is more like vegemite only
chocolate!

What do you call a slice then? (assuming you know what a slice now is)

Hi Rhonda,
It was more like a mixture of crushed biscuits, nuts and marshmellows
with the melted copha poured in, then all of it spread out in a tin and
then maybe refridgerated.

It must have more ingredients though. It was defiantely cold when it
was cut up into small pieces...not unlike a sort of small rectangular
toffee (in look) but cold and smooth in texture.

I looked in some of my books (Woman's Weekly Cookbook) and just
couldn't find it..and it's driving me nuts. It was so yummy! Maybe i
can fiddle about with the ingredients i know are in it and see what
happens...

Thanks for helping!

Copha - it's the white vegetable shortening that you use in
cookery...made from coconut oil. What do you call it?

Crisco. But it's not made from coconut oil, our food police have
decided it's not good for us... :-P

Melted shortening poured over?? That can't be right!!! Could you be
thinking of 7 layer bars(or whatever you call them-many different names
have been used)? That is the cookie made with graham crumbs, choc
chips, nuts, coconut, whatever else you desire. Then you pour a can of
sweetened condensed milk over, then bake??

Crisco.

But it was probably 'white chocolate', which is cocoa butter and sugar,
and often appears over here in chips like the chocolate ones. It can be
melted and drizzled over the cookie bar.

Sounds like you had some kind of "rocky road" cookie bar. Did it look
anything like this:

I don't think Temily means that she saw white bits in the slice. Copha,
which sets very hard when refrigerated, is often used here by melting and
mixing with chocolate to make a shiny topping or coating that sets hard.
Or it's mixed in with other ingredients to make a sweet or slice that is
not cooked, but sets hard.

Ahh. No chocolate? For some reason I was assuming it had chocolate in it.
Probably just my natural bias showing through <g>. I don't think I've
ever seen a recipe for something like this. I'll keep looking, though -
sounds interesting.

I think Temily means that the copha was added to the other ingredients,
all mixed together and then spread into a tin to set hard. See my other
post about how we use copha down here. I don't know that Crisco would
actually be a good substitute.

Hey, I just googled it, and it sounds like Crisco, altho it's made from
coconut. Seems like butter might be a better alternate- at least in the
flavor dept

Temily, after reading through teh "conmfusion"in this thread, I am going to
add some more confusion. By adding this: look up a recipe for rice crispie
bars (ie metled marshmellows mixed with tice crispeis, cooled down in a
baking tin, then cut up into bars). Copy the method, using the cookies and
nuts instead of the rice crispies.

If you do think there has to be colpha in your bars, then this wont'work.
Although I imagine in that case you pobably might pour hot shortening over
the other ingredientst, which might semi-melt the marhsmellows. And then the
fat and meltef Ms will make things stick together when cold.

I think shortening would set up a lot better, especailly after having been
melted.

I'm still confused... What's a slice tray? I think you're talking about a
toaster? But we don't cut toast into squares and then eat it. Toast is
toast. Someone else said you mean cookies. Those aren't toasted, either.

You need to let go of the word slice as we know it. They don't
mean it the way we do. I think Rhonda explained it. It's a
bar cookie.

Crisco-like fat available to the Aussies and the Kiwis.
From a google search:
€ Copha is a form of vegetable shortening made from coconut oil and
flesh. It is popular in Australia - it is used in many recipes for
children, such as chocolate crackles, made from Kellogg's Rice Bubbles,
copha, and chocolate.

Most commonly available is a commercial product from Proctor and Gamble
called Crisco. Partially hydrogenated vegetable fat of (likely,
because the source probably changes with the market price for raw)
indeterminate origin.

Yes, butter doesn't set hard like copha does. I wouldn't want to eat a
lot of it, but it doesn't impart an unpleasant taste to foods it's used
in, unless you dislike coconut.

Probably the most common use of copha here is to make Chocolate Crackles
and White Christmas - recipes follow. Butter would not be a successful
substitute.

I searched Google and found that I posted these two recipes back in '99.
Saves me some typing now. I've just copied them, including some notes on
ingredient translations that I included back then.

Chocolate Crackles


4 cups Rice Bubbles
1 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup desiccated coconut
250g copha


Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Melt copha and cool slightly.
Pour copha onto dry ingredients and mix together thoroughly. Place
spoonfuls of mixture into paper cake cases. Leave to set in the
refrigerator.


White Christmas


3 cups Rice Bubbles
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup sifted icing sugar
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup mixed dried fruit
250g copha


Mix all dry ingredients together. Melt copha and cool slightly. Pour
onto dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Press into greased 30 x 20cm
lamington tin and refrigerate overnight. Cut into squares when set.


Glossary: Rice Bubbles - these are same as US Rice Krispies
Desiccated coconut - this is not the sweetened coconut that I
have been told you find in US supermarkets. This is just
simply dried out coconut meat - quite fine little pieces.
I've been told you may need to go to a health food store, or
natural foods store to find it in the US
Icing sugar - confectioner's sugar in US
Mixed dried fruit - the commonly commercially available stuff
labelled mixed dried fruit here would contain raisins,
sultanas, currants and "imitation cherries". You could use
any of these really and I don't see why you couldn't use
proper glace cherries.
Copha - solidified coconut oil - as far as I know Copha is
not available outside Australia. Kathy Bloor(NZ) mentioned a
product she uses called Kremelta. I don't know how available
that is. Possibly some other solid vegetable shortening would
be suitable, but there may be major changes in the taste. I
would think you could just use any coconut oil you can get
as long as it is pure. It will set when cold enough. Worth a
try anyway.
Lamington tin - lamingtons are squares of sponge cake which
have been coated in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated
coconut. A lamington tin is the tin you bake the sponge slab
- in from which you cut the squares,so substitute any sort of
rectangular tin around this size which is at least a couple
of inches deep.

No...think brownies, think date bars, slice=bar cookies.

Just to confuse matters further, we do use the word the way you do (e.g. we
slice a tomato, we eat a slice of toast) it's just that it's _also_ the
word used as the name for a particular type of baked good.

Yep. I never cease to be fascinated by these differences in what we call

Bars. Shorthand for bar cookies. A sweet treat baked in a shallow
baking pan and cut into bar-like pieces, though they are often cut into
squares. And some bars are not baked or otherwise cooked.

Rhonda's been a generous and gracious translator of Aussie-speak for us
for years; we've seen the term 'slice' here before. 'Squares,' too, I
believe you sometimes call them.

The one i'm talking about just looked like a smooth slice with all

Hmm..i think i'm just getting a taste of the different terms now, in
this newsgroup..it is quite weird really. I didnt realise how
differently some terms are translated! I did always know we say
'biscuits' instead of 'cookies' though..

Gee. i'm still trying to come to terms with all the sayings my kids
