Can you substitute margarine for shortening in a muesli slice recipe?

Answer 1

Margarine is shortening and can be used in place of butter or other shortenings in baking, though the flavour won't be the same. In many recipes some feel the best results in texture and flavour are obtained by using butter or half-and-half butter and lard.

Answer 2

Yes, margarine could be substituted for shortening, but most muesli slice recipes call for butter rather than either margarine or shortening.
