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?

Pineapple delights - these were always a birthday treat!

😄 my cousin is a chef at yellow door! (Or was - haven’t seen him since the last family funeral)

I know not whether these are protestant approved but we call them Christmas Crack in my family. Skor bar squares

Sidling on to say atheists have chocolate bark.
Because we are intellectual, you see?

Duggee they look fantastic. All you're missing now is a Protestant wake.

Thank you BlackAmericano . Thankfully no one close to me (apart from my 95 year old grandma) is in danger of needing a wake at the moment but as we are from Baptist/evangelical church stock, I fear any funeral aftermath would be a very staid, traybake-light affair. Next time someone pops their clogs I will try and remember to take a few along to raise the traybake level

I've seen loads of those types of recipe on Pinterest Fooferella - what would one use in place of saltine crackers? Are they like cream crackers?

Greetings fellow NI traybakers - we're taking this thread out of the fridge and moving over to Classics now. Thanks to everyone for sharing your recipes.

SDTG amazing! Thanks to your mum! I'm definitely making those as soon as I can get my hands on the ingredients

Yay! Classics.
Im still bedbound, so my wee Mummy did an emergency bakers run, its all this threads fault.
Treacle farl, pancakes and shah biscuits

Are English Christians protestants? This is what my DP is saying.

DuggeesWoggle Congratulations! Babies are lovely but pregnancy sucks, so if traybakes help, I'd say go for it they look good!

English Church of England plus Baptist / Methodist etc are Protestant.

Wow @Eve you learn something new everyday. Thank you. my DP is usually right

Classics! I’m off to have a glass of condensed milk to celebrate

Would someone from down South be welcome in The Yellow Door ?
I'm sometimes in that general area but have never gone in to Portadown.
The Yellow Door sounds like my kinda place.

Of all the places mentioned on this thread, the Yellow Door is the one cafe I have been in. But I only had lunch there! How did I mange to miss the traybakes?! Next time...! Does anyone in Portadown know what Perfect Blend Coffee House is like? I went to it in its previous life when it was Kim and Ed's...

I've only made it up to 10th March with reading this but have tried fifteens using jelly babies instead of cherries and can tell you that they are bloomin' good.

Also, for those asking about sweetened condensed milk tin sizes, the old, small tin was 218g.

Yeah classics. Whoopee

If anyone is visiting Belfast or is in the university area of Belfast, can I suggest the cafe at Queen's library, called Cafe Hope. The traybakes are some of the biggest I've ever seen - haven't sampled them (because it's usually scone or lunch time when I'm there) but they look excellent - the chocolate cornflakey ones look like they're made of good quality chocolate.

Can you tell I am now obsessively inspecting traybake selections wherever I go these days, thanks to this thread.

Am I the only one walking by shops, peeping through the window to see if there’s tray bakes, then assuming the owners religion by the abundance or lack of, such delights? 😁

Thank you, YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet.

WTH? My DD goes to Queens and has never mentioned the cafe to me.
I'm disowning her.

cocole, Give her one last chance - forgive her on the condition that she brings you traybake carryout every day until you have sampled every last one.

I'll think it over

Thanks Mumsnet - it definitey belongs in Classics!

I’m in NI this week and wondered if traybakes had made it to Poundland. Closest I found was German biscuits, coconut & oat biscuit things that I last saw at school dinners when I was in primary school, and something called jammy joeys. Disappointing.
