This magic slice is so easy to make it has a biscuit base - layered with chocolate, coconut, dried fruit, almonds then covered in condensed milk and baked until golden.
I came across this delicious slice at a cafe and I wanted to recreate my own version of it at home.
This magic slice contains a lovely buttery biscuit base followed by layers of chocolate chips, shredded coconut, sultanas, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds and topped off with a layer of condensed milk which (when baked) holds the slice together.
Magic slice is so versatile you could swap the sultanas for any other dried fruit like apricot or cranberries. You could also swap the seeds and nuts for any others that you fancy, thatās the beauty of this slice, you can use whatever you have in the pantry.
How to make magic slice:
I used my food processor to crush the biscuits but you can use a rolling pin with the biscuits in a bag if you don't have one.
Once the base has been pressed into the tray you can start with your layers and then pour the condensed milk over the top which combines everything together and goes lovely and golden once baked.
Keep your slice in an airtight container in a cool place. Magic Slice is a great lunchbox filler the whole family will love. Lots of Kiwi families have their own versions of this easy slice and this one is ours.

Magic Slice
This magic slice is so delicious and easy to make with a biscuit base layered with chocolate, coconut, dried fruit and almonds.
Ingredients

- 175g butter, melted
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup of dried fruit: sultanas, chopped apricots, cranberries etc
- Ā½ cup sunflower seeds
- Ā½ cup slivered almonds
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (395g)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 170°C fan bake.
- Crush biscuits in the food processor until you have a fine crumb. Pour in melted butter and pulse until combined.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour in the biscuit mixture. Push to the edges and flatten with a spoon. Ensure you press down firmly to prevent the base crumbling later.

- Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden, let it cool and then chill in the fridge until ready to slice.

Had this delicious tray bake while visiting my son in New Zealand . I'm thrilled to have found your receipe
VJ cooks
Thank you so much.
Ninette
Thankyou for the recipe. This slice has become a staple in my house now!
Mirella O'Connor
Hi I don't have any biscuits other than chocolate ones. Can I make this with a sponge base?
Thanks
VJ cooks
I don't think it would work, sorry. The firm base allows the other layers to be stacked up. A sponge base would absorb the liquid.
Laura
Is it supposed to be 75g or butter instead of 175? I just did mine and the base was terribly oily and crumbly!
VJ cooks
Sorry to hear that, Laura! The quantities are correct and I myself haven't had that issue. But on researching this I found 1) the biscuits need to be fresh (crispy, not chewy) and pulsed to a fine crumb to absorb the butter and 2) the mixture needs to be firmly pushed down with a spoon. I've amended the recipe to include these notes. Thanks, Vanya.
Leanne
Hi
I just bought your recipe book, it's awesome!!! I want to make the cranberry magic slice but nut free. What could I use as a substitute for the almonds?
Thanks
VJ cooks
Thank you so much, Leanne! You could increase the amount of sunflower seeds to 1 cup, or make a mixture of sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds.
Maree Baldwin
Iām going on a camping trip - how long does the biscuit slice last.
VJ cooks
I usually recommend to keep this refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Kate
Hi VJ do you know if this freezes well?
Thanks!
VJ cooks
Yes, it does!
Ninette
I love this slice.I make my own version depending on the ingredients I've got. I freeze it and I leave it in the pantry for 5 days to a week and it's still ok.
VJ cooks
That's great to know! Thank you
Jane
Hi there,
I have just experimented using mcVities Digestives, the amount I used was just over 300g and I used 200g butter but forgot to press down hard with a spoon just smoothed with a spatula, but I don't think these biscuits were the best to use (just wanted to use them up). Anyway it tastes amazing more like pudding though in this case. I will try krispies next time!
VJ cooks
Oh that's interesting to know, thank you! I've only used Krispies before.
Lena
I accidently bought Vanilla Wines instead of Krispies. Will this still work?
VJ cooks
Yes I think that will work as both packets of biscuits have the same volume.
Rachel
Wow this slice is delicious! I had arrowroot biscuits in the cupboard, so used those. Used cranberries as the dried fruit. This ticks all the boxes - fun and easy to make and super yum!
