This no-bake jaffa slice is so easy, with the combination of milk chocolate and orange essence I’m sure it will be one of your family favourites.
If you follow my recipes you will know that I love a no bake slice. This one is so delicious with a simple biscuit, condensed milk and chocolate base, then the yummy orange chocolate and Jaffas for the topping.
I made up this recipe because I had lots of chocolate Easter eggs left over from Easter and I wanted something yummy to use them up.
I also had a big bag of Jaffas in my cupboard left over from a party and I thought that they would make a great topping for a slice. To make it a bit more punchy I added some orange essence to the milk chocolate topping and it goes so well with the crunched up Jaffas.
This recipe is so simple to make, you just melt the condensed milk, butter and chocolate together. Any standard milk chocolate will work or you can mix it up by using dark or white chocolate. Once the mixture is melted stir it together then add some crushed biscuits. Spread the mixture into a tray and smooth with the back of a metal spoon.
For the topping melt the chocolate in the microwave in bursts until it is smooth, I like to add some oil which helps stop the topping from cracking. Add the orange essence and check the flavour then add more if needed.
I decided to smash up the Jaffas on top as I think it looks good and it also will make it easier to eat. After the slice has set in the fridge and you are ready to cut it into pieces, take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before slicing, this will make it easier to cut and it won’t crack as much.
This recipe really was a winner in our house and lasted less than a day with our family and friends around. I am sure I will be making it again soon as it is one of my husband’s favourites now.
