Anzac slice is a traditional dessert that originated in Australia and New Zealand during World War I. It was usually made by the wives and girlfriends of soldiers and sent overseas since it could last up to several weeks without spoiling. The soldiers enjoyed it so much that they requested it after the war ended, and it continues to be a popular treat in Australia and New Zealand today. This slice is a perfect combination of sweet and crunchy textures, making it a favorite for afternoon snacks or dessert.
