Which is the tastiest Protestant traybake?

[FiddleFaddleDingDong]

NI Protestants are famed for their tray bakes but which is the best traybake of all?

I’m thinking something crunchy and chocolatey, a tiffin like thing. But are there unchocolatey traybakes that I just haven’t been exposed to? Are they keeping all the best recipes to themselves, strictly to be eaten behind closed doors?

And does it get a bit competitive? Does Annie cast aspersions on Doris’ traybaking abilities?

Fifteens!

Fifteens. Not a traybake. Not even a bake. Stupidly easy. But amazing. Google them.

Only clicked to see WTF your title was about!

Only clicked to see WTF your title was about. Me too. I prefer a nice chicken traybake. I find the Protestant a bit too big for the tray.

LiveThisLife - me too (thought it must be an autocorrect) and frankly I'm still non the wiser.

Fifteens neither a traybake, nor a bake, nor even a tray

Rice Krispie squares win the Protestant traybake competition IMO.

I’m shacked - shacked - that “Protestants love traybakes” didn’t make it onto the Derry Girls blackboard

I don't know... would love a few nice Methodist or even Presbyterian traybake recipes but I do have a great Protestant marmalade-making tip! Once the marmalade has reached setting-point, allow it to cool in the pot for five minutes before pouring it into your heated jam jars. It jellifies a little bit which suspends the peel throughout the jar instead of it floating towards Heaven the top.

No idea what a protestant tray bake is. Do they have one for Catholics and Methodists too? If you're a Quaker, is it made with oats?
I'm partial to a rocky road tray bake myself.

Fifteens sound tempting but that's got to be considered cheating among true traybakers!

villainousbroodmare I suspect the Methodists, being quite strict, are probably less generous with the sugar and butter than the Presbyterians!

Protestant tray bakes? I've heard it all now.

Do you allow mint toppings?

Nah catholic’s barely notice a traybake, a nice well risen cake, but not till after a slice of bread and butter.

Love a good PTB. Caramel slice (NOT millionaire’s shortbread!) is best for that sickly feeling after and instant blood sugar rush

well, you learn something new every day!

I once made an amazing chocolate biscuit cake with Aldi not-mint-aero bars. I have never had a better traybake. I don't like fifteens, and am not entirely Protestant though, so missed out on the traybake culture.

Snowballs are also a good one, but again no baking or trays required.
Coconut mixed with condensed milk, rolled into a ball and covered with melted chocolate. Put in the fridge until the chocolate sets.
A northern Irish Protestant staple growing up!

@FreeButtonBee ooh what's the difference between the two?

Why do catholic's not like tray-bakes?

See, this is why they keep their toasters in a cupboard! They need the counter space for all the tray bakes. And soup bowls.

My best prod friend does these amazing mars bar rice krispie squares. They look like a caramel square until they are sliced in the tray. A maz ing. Traybakes definitely should have made the blackboard. Protestant events are a tray bake extravaganza!

Catholics love traybakes!!! They just cant make them like protestants!

I'm Catholic lapsed and made a brownie traybake this morning. Will I have to go to confession and say five Hail Marys?
