Taste.com.au’s top 10 slice recipes from 2013 to 2023
From our must-have lemon slice to the ever popular Anzac treat, these are Taste.com.au’s top 10 slice recipes from the past 10 years.
Taste.com.au has looked back on some of our most loved recipes. And there’s no doubt about it – we all adore our sweet slices. So we’ve compiled a list of our all-time favourites. From a zesty yet creamy passionfruit slice, to a traditional golden Anzac slice, we’ve got it all here for you whenever you feel that slice-y craving.
What is it about Australians and lemons? We can’t get enough of them in both sweet and savoury dishes. We Aussies love a slice too, so it’s little wonder that this lemon slice recipe comes in at number three of taste.com.au’s most popular slice recipes ever (pipped at the post by the ever-popular caramel and Mars Bar slices). In this easy lemon slice recipe, we use both the lemon rind in the base and the juice in the icing, resulting in a bright and zesty taste that just sings in your mouth. Combine these lemony feels with our other favourites, condensed milk and buttery granita biscuits, and we have an Aussie classic for the ages. This no-bake lemon slice recipe is perfect for a lunchbox, afternoon tea or just a sweet treat all year round. If you’re looking for morning tea ideas to surprise and delight, you might also like to try our gluten-free lemon slice, or find even more inspiration from our collection of best-ever lemon slice recipes, which includes healthier lemon slice recipes and blueberry lemon slice variations too.

Everybody loves a Mars bar! In fact, they were recently voted the world’s second most popular chocolate bar - pipped at the post by Cadbury milk chocolate (personally, I think it was rigged!). So, it’s little wonder that when melted down with butter and mixed with rice bubbles, the result is amazing. This Mars bar slice recipe is our favourite as it has the sneaky addition of golden syrup, which gives the slice an extra buttery caramel flavour. Another reason we love this recipe is that not all the Mars bar is melted. Some is reserved, chopped and stirred through the mixture, upping the mars bar element and providing extra texture. Genius, right?
Often, I find myself wondering, “Why are Australians so obsessed with slices?”, but then I’ll make this chocolate caramel slice recipe and remember why. The buttery biscuit base, rich and gooey caramel filling, and that layer of delectable chocolate on top - I’m drooling just thinking about it. No wonder it’s a staple at school fetes and a firm favourite of anyone with a sweet tooth (in fact, some of our readers have been making this recipe for more than 15 years!). Despite the universal appeal of chocolate caramel slice, we understand people have certain preferences regarding the thickness of each layer. Some readers like to double the quantities of the chocolate or caramel layer, or you could even use a smaller slice pan (just keep in mind this will affect cooking time). Of course, one of the reasons this caramel slice recipe is so popular is how easy it is to make - we even have bakers as young as 10 whipping this one up.
Use a clever shortcut to create these baked golden slices filled with warm apple, sour cream and cinnamon.
