Hmmm…how could we possibly improve on our old favourite chocolate hedgehog slice? Erm, make it choc-mint of course! Choc mint biscuits and a smattering of crushed Peppermint Crisp on top add the magic in a not too overpowering way, but if you REALLY love the mint part you can add a teaspoon of peppermint essence to the mix too.

9 Ingredients

4 Method Steps

125g butter, chopped

395g can sweetened condensed milk

360.00g dark chocolate, chopped

20.00 gm cocoa powder

200g pkt Arnott’s Mint Slice biscuits, chopped

180g plain sweet biscuits, roughly crushed (see notes)

45g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut

50g butter, chopped

35g Peppermint Crisp, chopped

Step 1

Lightly grease a 16 x 26cm slice pan and line with baking paper, extending paper over the two long sides. Place the butter, condensed milk and chocolate in a saucepan and heat over low heat. When the chocolate starts to soften, stir occasionally until just melted and smooth (don’t let it get too hot). Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes or until it is almost at room temperature.

Step 2

Add the cocoa powder, Mint Slice biscuits, plain biscuits and coconut to the chocolate mixture and use a spatula to fold together until evenly combined. Transfer to prepared pan and press with the back of a spoon to spread out evenly (don’t worry if the surface isn’t perfectly smooth). Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm.

Step 3

To make the topping, combine the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, in 30 seconds bursts, for 2 minutes or until melted. Stir until smooth. Spread over the slice and sprinkle with Peppermint Crisp. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
