This slice is so simple but beautifully fragrant with our organic vanilla. The perfect thing for a mid-morning snack, or as an after school saviour. Be warned – it’s sweet and addictive!

Comments & Reviews

It would be refreshing to see the Queens kitchen go LOW SUGAR when it describes lunchbox snacks. So much sugar – the schools make you feel guilty and it’s actually not the best thing for kids brains. I would love to see nut free, high protein (good for school), low sugar. It’s not “fun” but it’s what parents are trying to get when self baking. Knowing the ingredients and not loading our kids with fat and sugar.
