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?

I don't know what tablet is. So I'm going to stick my neck out and say that it's not a thing in N Ireland.

My favourite was Donegore garden centre!

I do not have any shape or clue why you are titling your post so weird.. and it's still standing... How the holy fuck does making shit cake in a tray equal your religion

I miss Donegore. It was lovely at Christmas time. And the car park was on such a steep hill that every time I stepped out of the car I nearly fell over!

Yes Donegore was in the top league of garden centres.

I know what tablet is but it's not nice and it's not Norn Irish. Scottish, I believe.

Do you know what else N Ireland Protestants can't get enough of? Shloer

@PierreBezukov Chinese Chews! So good (so much sugar!) A family favourite here.

PierreBezukov Chinese Chews!!!

That's brought back some very happy memories....my very Protestant Nana used to make these....haven't had them in about 20+ years. Don't suppose you have a recipe?

Not nice?! But it’s just pure sugar, how can that ever be bad? 😂

It just does, and like a lot of things in Northern Ireland there is no point in trying to change our minds

We call Shloer 'Christian Wine'!

@IPokeBadgers - I have my granny's Chinese Chew recipe somewhere - will dig it out.

Oh Isabelle schloer of course- so true!

I remember being taught in Baptist Sunday school that when the Bible says Jesus turned water into wine, it didn't really mean wine, it meant fruit juice

It was always Cidona in our house on Sunday - schloer only at Christmas. They ruined schloer now with sweetener. It’s rank

I know what tablet is but it's not nice and it's not Norn Irish. grin Scottish, I believe.

just wondering!

There's a lot of crossover with the other stuff - the snowballs and love of crushed digestives, condensed milk and dessicated coconut traybaking.....

Tablet is fantastic and I love it. When my dad was dying of cancer and couldn't eat anything he could still be tempted by a bit of tablet.

Has shloer always not had a c in it? Could’ve sworn it used to!

@mrsfeatherbottom please do!
My my, Chinese Chews....the memories. Feel quite emotional 😀

Someone hasn't had their mars bar krispie cake today.

It's hard to beat a good old chocolate cornflake or rice crispie bun though.

If you have coffee after your meal at a restaurant then they always serve it with a couple of bits of tablet on the side. Perfect :)

@scissor you do not sound like you’re from Northern Ireland. But “shit cake”?! The majority of the rest of us ARE from NI - we’ll do the cake bigotry on here if there’s any to be done, thanks very much.

I feel a wee new recipe coming on - Backstop Bake.
