Tips for Making this Anzac Slice Recipe:

This slice is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoyed within seven days.

When adding the chocolate chips to this recipe, it’s important to let the mixture sit for a minute or two (especially if you are making it in a Thermomix) to let it cool before adding the chocolate chips, and also making sure you add them just as the slice is ready to go into the oven. If you don’t you may find that your chocolate chips will lose their shape and start to melt through the Anzac Slice mixture, which really isn’t that bad of an issue to have I guess!

You can also sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top of the slice before placing into the oven.

It is important to let the slice completely cool before slicing into pieces, otherwise it will crumble when cutting.

You can freeze the leftover slice for up to two months.

FAQs

What is a substitute for golden syrup in Anzac biscuits? ›

Best substitute for golden syrup is a combination of light molasses or treacle, plus honey. I use 1 part molasses or treacle, and 3 parts honey – the flavour is nearly identical, and the colour is very similar (a bit darker).

Are Anzac biscuits Australian? ›

Anzac biscuits your way (with video) Anzac biscuits are undoubtedly an Aussie and NZ classic, and they're ridiculously easy to make - whether you're marking our National Day of Remembrance or you just want to bake something quick with ingredients you already have in your pantry.

What is the American version of golden syrup? ›

In the U.S., golden syrup is usually sold under the name of light treacle, but it's not readily available in many grocery stores. In cooking recipes, molasses and light treacle are often used interchangeably because their textures and flavor profiles are similar.

Can I substitute honey for golden syrup in Anzac biscuits? ›

Anzac biscuits also traditionally use golden syrup, but it seems as if it is a little harder to find here than it is in Australia and New Zealand. So, I switched it out and used Honey instead. If you would like to use Golden Syrup then by all means go ahead - it is a 1:1 swap.

What is the difference between Anzac biscuits and Aussie bites? ›

One Anzac biscuit contains 187 calories, 8 grams of fat, 28 grams of carbs, and 11.4 grams of sugar. By comparison, an Aussie Bite is fairly similar, except it has 130 calories, 7 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbs, and a little more than half the amount of sugar as an Anzac biscuit.

Why did the soldiers eat Anzac biscuits? ›

Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. It is thought that these biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.

Can I use maple syrup instead of golden syrup? ›

Yes, maple syrup can be used instead of golden syrup in many recipes, however this will result in a slightly different flavour. Golden syrup and maple syrup are generally substituted in a 1:1 ratio, however you may choose to use slightly less maple syrup to maintain texture and consistency.

What sugar is equivalent to golden syrup? ›

The free fructose content gives the syrup a taste sweeter than that of an equivalent solution of white sugar; when substituting golden syrup for white sugar, about 25% less golden syrup is needed for the same level of sweetness.

Can I swap golden syrup for honey? ›

It can be used wherever honey is used, providing a lesser flavour spectrum but saving rather a lot of cost; this would include on porridge, pancakes and waffles, in flapjacks, ginger cakes and similar. To really showcase this ingredient, try making our golden syrup dumplings.
