How to cut slices without the chocolate breaking – my top tips!
When it comes to cutting slices into neat little pieces, I am obsessive. It’s actually a little bit weird. BUT! If you’re anything like me, and love the look of perfectly cut slices and bars, then here’s my top tips:
- Use a hot, dry knife to glide easily through the chocolate layer. Run your blade under boiling hot water and dry it completely before slicing. Continue to heat and dry your knife as you go.
- Add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil or vegetable oil to the chocolate when melting. This helps to stop the chocolate from cracking.
- Allow the slice to come to room temperature (or at least take it out of the fridge for 30 minutes) before slicing.
Now that is what a call a super delicious slice! This is absolutely perfect for a lunchbox treat, cake stalls, fetes, birthday parties… seriously anything!
Enjoy! xx

Just curious if you’ve used any other type of candy/confectionery for this recipe or what others you could recommend? I have my birthday to cater for with no time because of the kids! lol Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Tina – I would suggest checking out my no bake slices post – there’s lots of quick and easy alternatives there! https://bakeplaysmile.com/easy-no-bake-bars-slices/
Awesome thanks!
Hi can rice bubbles be used instead of plain biscuits ? Or will the slice not be as good ? Thanks
Hmmm I don’t think the base would be firm enough!!
Hi! Do u know if u can freeze this???
Yes you can xx
Hi Lucy
Any tips on how best to cut the slice? Even after leaving it out of the fridge for a while, I find the chocolate still breaks randomly when I slice mine up. I’ve used the boiling water on the knife to heat it tick too, but never quite seem to get it right.
Thanks so much
Susie
Hi Susie, try leaving it on the bench for a while (almost to room temp), then grab a long large knife, lightly score the slice in a straight line a few times and then when you’re almost through the chocolate layer, press the knife down firmly. Repeat with each line and then use the same method to cut into smaller pieces. It’s a little bit time consuming, but stops the cracking! xx
This by far one of the best recipes for kids I have ever come across. My kids love it and you know its good when you send a plate of it for shared lunch at school and it comes back empty
Oh thank you so much! I’m so thrilled to hear that!!
