Lime & Mango Slice
I've always been one to pick zesty flavours over caramel/chocolate flavours because I find them super flavoursome and generally not as sweet. I always love enjoying a raw slice but they always have dates in them but I am actually sorbitol-intolerant and dates have a pretty large chunk of sorbitol in them. So to save looking 6 months pregnant after a coffee and cake date, I always end up going to something else. Plus the price tag on those slices are pretty hefty too!
I figured if I made them at home, I could invent a date-free version and have a whole tray of slice for the cost of one piece at a cafe and so was born my lime & mango slice. I also ended up making these nut-free so they are school-friendly!
