Super Easy Marshmallow Wagon Wheel Slice

This easy Marshmallow Wagon Wheel Slice will have you coming back for more and more! A yummy base covered in raspberry jam, marshmallows, and of course, chocolate!

If you’re anything like me, you grew up with good old Wagon Wheels. It was always a huge treat when you were allowed to buy one from the canteen – or ‘tuck shop’ as it was called at my little primary school!!

Anyway, I decided that it was time to recreate the old fashioned favourite and turn it into a Wagon Wheel Slice!! Best. Idea. Ever.

This deliciously easy slice starts off with a simple base (it’s actually the same base that I use in heaps of my slices… flour, brown sugar, coconut and butter… you can’t go wrong!). Once the base has been cooked, you spread over some raspberry jam. YUMMY! Raspberry jam is my fave!

And then comes the fun part! Grab out your scissors and cut your marshmallows in half. Place them cut-side down onto the jam (nice and close to each other). Ooh and one little tip is to alternate the pink and white marshmallows so that you get a really gorgeous effect at the end. TOTALLY not necessary – but it sure does look pretty!

Pop the wagon wheel slice back into a oven for a couple of minutes to allow the marshmallows to soften. Take the slice out of the oven and press down with a spatula or spoon so that the surface is fairly even. Once the slice has cooled, make a really yummy chocolate topping and then spread it all over the slice. Make sure you stop at least 7 times to lick the chocolatey spoon. Of course.

Leave the delicious little wagon wheel slice to set in the fridge for a few hours and then cut into slices. Sit, relax and gobble it all up… all the while reminiscing about those good old ‘tuck shop’ days! xx
