Dark Chocolate Peppermint Slice

This easy melt-and-mix, no bake dark chocolate peppermint slice is made with crushed biscuits, rice bubbles and condensed milk. 

This Dark Chocolate Peppermint Slice was inspired by my No-Bake Milk Chocolate Slice. I had a craving for a dark chocolate peppermint slice and I also wanted something crispy so I added rice bubbles to add some crunch.

I was so happy after testing the recipe a few times and now it is the perfect mix of crispy base and decadent chocolate topping. It is such a simple recipe, you just melt the butter, chocolate and condensed milk together then stir it in with the crushed biscuits and rice bubbles!

Ingredient notes:

• Dark Chocolate: We all know dark chocolate and peppermint are a great combination. My favourite dark chocolate is Whittaker's 50% cocoa which I think really makes this slice so moreish. You could use any chocolate you like and even chocolate melts would work.
• Rice Bubbles: Rice Bubbles add a light, crispy crunch that contrasts beautifully with the smooth chocolate and buttery biscuit base. They give the slice extra texture without making it heavy.
• Arrowroot biscults: I used Milk Arrowroot biscuits, but most plain biscuits will work just as well. The secret to the perfect consistency is using a mix of finely crushed crumbs and larger biscuit pieces for the best texture.

Step by step instructions:

Line a 18 X 27cm slice tin with baking paper and set aside.

Add chocolate, condensed milk and butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second bursts until all the ingredients have melted together and stir well.

Add to the crushed biscuits and rice bubbles and mix until all combined. Press the mixture into the tray, spread to the edges and smooth the top with the back of a metal spoon.

• For the topping: Melt together the rest of the dark chocolate with the oil in the microwave. Stir until it is smooth then add the peppermint essence and stir again. If it seems a bit thick then add more oil until it is nice and runny. Pour the chocolate over the base and spread it evenly to the edges. Chill in the fridge until set then use a large knife to cut into slices and serve. 

I'm so proud of this dark chocolate peppermint slice, I'm sure once you make it and see how quick and easy it is you will be taking it to every morning tea and family get together you go to.

This recipe can be made into a dark chocolate orange slice by swapping the peppermint essence for orange essence flavour. 

Storage:

Store any leftover slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Top tips:

If you prefer milk chocolate that would taste amazing too so just adapt it to your taste.
