Macadamia Nuts are native to Australia and this delicious slice is very popular. If it is difficult to find Macadamia Nuts where you live, you can use other Nuts such as Cashews, Walnuts OR Pecans, but the slice wouldn’t taste the same. Smaller OR broken Macadamia Nuts are less expensive and they are perfect for this slice.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Line a brownie tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 170°C. *Note: I used 34cm x 20cm Brownie Tin. Please use a similar size Square Tin
2

Coarsely chop up Pitted Dates. Cut Macadamia Nuts in half OR quarters, OR you may wish to coarsely chop up.
3

Place Butter in a heat-proof mixing bowl and melt in the microwave. Add Brown Sugar and Salt, mix well. Then add Egg and mix well.
4

Add all other ingredients and mix well to combine. The mixture is very thick, almost like cookie dough. Spread the mixture in the prepared tin evenly.
5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes OR until cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and cool. When cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into 4-5cm squares.
