    A delicious Chocolate Mint Slice that's super easy to make... and tastes great! This one is always a winner with kids and adults alike.Pieces of a chocolate slice with mint icing stacked on serving plates

    I'm not usually one to mess around with a good old classic recipe... but this Chocolate Mint Slice is a huge exception to that rule. In fact, dare I say... I think I like this slice even better than the original!

    So which classic recipe did I go all mint-crazy on?? Yep, it was my favourite Chocolate Coconut Slice (which, by the way, is also by far one of the most popular recipes on this site).

    A close up of chocolate slices with mint icing and sprinkled with coconutWhile I'd normally leave something totally delicious alone, this Chocolate Mint Slice had been an idea brewing in my mind for a while - and I knew I wouldn't be able to get it out of my head until I at least tried it. Good call. Very, very good call.

    There's really only a couple of minor differences between this slice and the original version. Mainly that there is peppermint extract in both the base and the frosting (because peppermint is sooooo good!), and of course, there's no cocoa in the frosting. Nope, just minty goodness.

    But other than that, it has the same delicious fudgy, coconut-chocolate base as the original recipe BUT with a super yum minty topping. Speaking of peppermint... add as much or as little peppermint extract as you like. It's totally up to your personal taste. I personally like 1 teaspoon of extract in the base and then 2-3 teaspoons in the frosting (to give it that awesome minty kick!). But hey, go with however much peppermint extract you like! That's the fun of baking, right.

    This slice can be cooked and frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. But that's only if you don't gobble it all down straightaway... which, lets face it, is totally unlikely!

    Love peppermint and chocolate together too? Try my Classic Peppermint Slice, Super Easy Chocolate Peppermint Slice, Chocolate Mint Biscuits, Mint Slice Balls, or Peppermint Crisp Tim Tam Balls. YUMMMM-A-LICIOUS!
