31st May 2017

What is better than a home made desert? The answer is one that you don’t have to bake! Yes, this delicious Chocolate Peppermint Slice dessert is also a no bake method, meaning that prep time and ‘cooking’ time is 15 minutes! Although this recipe uses green swirls for this easy Chocolate Peppermint Slice, you can use pink/blue/purple if you wish! Perfect for if you’re going to a themed birthday party or event.

Ingredients 

• 1 X 250g packet of plain such as Marie, sweet biscuits, crushed
• 3/4 tin of sweetened condensed milk you can always add a little more if the mixture is too dry
• 100 g butter chopped
• 2 tablespoons cocoa
• 1-2 tiny drops peppermint essence be careful – it’s powerful stuff!!
• 6 X 35g block Peppermint chocolate roughly chopped
• 150 g white chocolate
• 3-4 drops green food colouring

Method

• Crush the biscuits in a food processor (don’t worry if there are still a fair few bigger chunks… that’s fine!) and then pour into a mixing bowl.
• Sift the cocoa into the bowl.
• Melt butter, block of peppermint chocolate and condensed milk in a saucepan over a very low heat. Mix until smooth.
• Pour warm chocolate mixture onto the biscuits and mix well.
• Very carefully add two tiny drops of peppermint essence and mix well.
• Spread mixture into a baking paper lined slice pan.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave on low (stirring regularly) and pour over the cooled slice.
• Working quickly, add a couple of drops of green food colouring to the white chocolate and swirl with a skewer.
• Pop into the fridge until just set (tacky to the touch but not hard).
• Take out of the fridge and slice into squares.
