    With Easter just around the corner, NOW is the time to start making the most of all the yummy Easter eggs lining the supermarket shelves!

    Whether it's a simple no-bake slice (like this one!), or an Easter dessert, homemade hot cross buns, cocktail, brownie or cake... when it comes to Easter, the recipes don't get any sweeter or more delicious!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    There's a lot to love about this sweet little Easter recipe:

    • No-Bake - who doesn't love a no-bake recipe? Forget about turning on the oven... just melt, mix and chill!
    • Great Kids Recipe - the kids will love making this recipe just as much as they'll love eating it. The perfect Easter activity for the little ones.
    • Make Ahead - get prepped for your Easter celebrations by preparing the slice a few days ahead and storing it in the fridge. The cookies/biscuits will soften giving the slice a classic hedgehog flavour and texture.
    • Perfect For Using Up Leftover Easter Eggs - if you've got some Easter eggs leftover after the celebrations are finished, make this slice and use up your mini eggs!

    What You Need

    Our Chocolate Hedgehog Easter Slice is based on my all-time favourite Chocolate Hedgehog Slice (it's also a reader favourite).

    It's completely no bake, takes just 10 minutes to prepare and it's always an absolute hit!

    If you've got a can of sweetened condensed milk and a packet of sweet biscuits (cookies) on hand... then this is the recipe for you!

    Here's what you need:

    The ingredients for a chocolate Easter egg slice.
    • plain sweet cookies - choose any brand of plain sweet cookies you like. I generally use Arnott's Marie or Scotch Finger biscuits which are both popular biscuit varieties in Australia.
    • coconut - use desiccated coconut (not shredded coconut or coconut flour).
    • cocoa powder
    • milk chocolate - choose a good quality milk chocolate or chocolate baking melts.
    • butter - choose salted or unsalted butter.
    • sweetened condensed milk - you can use full fat or skim sweetened condensed milk. Full fat is preferably as it sets firmer.
    • white chocolate - for melting over the top.
    • mini chocolate Easter eggs - I like to use Cadbury mini eggs as they have a pretty pastel speckled colour to them.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Step 1 - Melt

    Melt the milk chocolate, butter and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave, Thermomix or stovetop.

    Step 2 - Mix

    Expert Tips

    Type of cookies

    You can use any brand of plain sweet biscuits (or cookies if you're in the US). I generally use Arnott's Scotch Finger biscuits. 

    Chopping the biscuits

    Roughly crush the biscuits (it's fine to have some larger chunks remaining).

    Cutting the slice

    Add a little vegetable oil or coconut oil to the white chocolate when melting - this makes it easier to cut into slices. Use a sharp flat knife to score through the chocolate layer before pressing down firmly.

    Type of mini Easter eggs

    You can use any type of mini Easter eggs you like (I used Cadbury mini eggs which are small chocolate eggs with pastel coloured candy coating). 

    Storing

    Store this slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Freezing

    This slice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before serving. Note: the Easter eggs on top will lose some of their colour when frozen.
