This no-bake, dark chocolate peppermint slice is made with crushed biscuits, rice bubbles and condensed milk.
I had a craving for 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.
I used Milk Arrowroot biscuits but most plain biscuits would work well too.
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.
If you prefer milk chocolate that would taste amazing too so just adapt it to your taste.
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.

Dark chocolate peppermint slice
This super easy no-bake slice will be sure to satisfy your chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- 125g dark chocolate (4.4oz)
- 200g condensed milk (7oz)
- 150g butter (5.5oz)
- 1 packet arrowroot biscuits, finely crushed (250g/9oz)
- 1 cup rice bubbles/krispies
Topping
- 190g dark chocolate
- 1.5 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp peppermint essence
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.
Notes
- This recipe can be made into a dark chocolate orange slice by swapping the peppermint essence for orange essence flavour.
- I used Whittaker's 50% cocoa dark chocolate
- If you don't have Arrowroot biscuits you could use another plain biscuit like Maries or Graham crackers

Hi VJ.
I made this slice and it was delicious. However I am just wondering what you do with the leftover condensed milk.
Thanks Sharon
VJ cooks says
Great question! All of these recipes can be made with your remaining condensed milk. Gingernut Slice, Lolly Slice, No Bake Chocolate Slice
Debbie Stevenson says
Can I use virgin oil instead of vegetable oil?
VJ cooks says
You want an oil that doesn't have a strong flavour profile.
Annie says
Can you freeze these slices? If so, recommended period? 3months?
Thanks
VJ cooks says
Yes you can freeze them and correct - I would say for up to three months. Ensure they are well sealed in an airtight container or freezer bag.

I made this slice and it was easy and quick to make. I used orange flavoured chocolate for the top - delicious!
VJ cooks says
Oh yum that sounds delicious.
Sandra Phyllis McDonald says
I have just made this slice. I have sampled a slice (it is still a bit warm) and find there is not a lot of flavour. I am hoping tomorrow, when it is cold the flavour will appear. Do you think 1 tsp of vanilla essence added to the base would help (is possibly missing from this recipe)?
VJ cooks says
I love this slice the way it is. As always, feel free to customise to suit your needs 🙂
