Choc-caramel Easter Slice

I found this Easter slice recipe on The Bite,
http://www.bite.co.nz/recipe/7137/ChocCaramel-Easter-Slice/

And it promised to be the biggest sweet overload in history with an almond chocolatey cake base,
gooey caramel filling and chocolate covered malt balls on top of that!

But here's the surprise....

it was sweet... but nicely so...

Not at all over the top as one might have expected,

and sooooo delicious!

The caramel was a little gooey,

  but adding longer cooking time will firm it up without a problem. 
Printable recipe is over at the Bite - http://www.bite.co.nz/recipe/7137/ChocCaramel-Easter-Slice/

For your Easter dessert display, 

add candles...

 And serve the Choc-caramel Easter Slices on brown paper, 

on a worn wooden chopping board.

Feathers always add to the fun!

Easter Table at Mia Bella...

This years table is a simple pastel theme.

With a gorgeous aqua coloured table cloth, 

and pale pink and white spot table runner.

I filled my spotty aqua bowl with pretty pink Japanese anemones, 

 a few pink geraniums...

and white portulacas

(did you know portulacas last really well in a vase?)

 Ombre foil wrapped chocolate eggs to scatter...

 And a cute white ceramic Easter bunny!

Mister rabbit sits in pride of place

upon a large and small mismatched pair of French inspired platters...

and some loose flowers were scattered.

And there you have it...

a simple Easter no fuss but pretty table!
