    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    • Basic ingredients - aside from a packet of licorice allsorts, you probably already have all the other ingredients required for this slice sitting in your fridge and pantry right now.
    • You don't have to like licorice to enjoy this slice... I promise! - even if you don't like licorice (I don't!!) you'll love this slice (I do!!) The subtle little bursts of licorice flavour don't overwhelm the sweet biscuit crumb base and the chocolate layer on top is simply DELICIOUS!
    • A family favourite - this sweet little slice is one of my Mum's absolute favourites... and it's no surprise given how yummy it is.
    • Super quick - so little prep time (just 20 minutes), then mix and chill in the fridge.
    • Easy recipe - besides being absolutely foolproof, there's no fancy equipment required - just a knife, a bowl and a spoon.... this really is the perfect recipe for beginner bakers too.
    • Most popular '5 Star' recipe - it's the perfect slice for lunch box treats, morning or afternoon tea, kids parties, school fetes, bake sales and fundraisers!

    Reader Review:

    What You Need

    With basic pantry ingredients and a bag of yummy licorice allsorts, you can enjoy this licorice allsort slice so quickly and easily!

    Note: please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    All the ingredients for licorice allsort slice in individual bowls on a marble bench-top
    • butter - salted or unsalted, either are fine to use in this recipe
    • sweetened condensed milk - choose full fat sweetened condensed milk as it sets the slice more firmly than the skim version
    • golden syrup - if you can't find golden syrup in your supermarket, you can substitute it for corn syrup, honey or maple syrup.
    • sweet plain biscuits/cookies - I like to use Arnotts Marie biscuits but you can use any plain sweet biscuit (known as cookies in the US). Graham crackers are a good alternative for a sweet plain cookie.
    • desiccated coconut - desiccated coconut is very finely grated coconut that contains moisture but is dry to the taste and touch
    • licorice allsorts - choose a good quality licorice allsort such as Darrell Lea
    • milk chocolate - you can use either 'melts' or a block, but again, chose a good quality baking chocolate such as Cadbury baking products
    • vegetable or coconut oil - this is optional, however, adding this to the chocolate makes it much easier to cut the slice without the chocolate cracking.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Believe me, this recipe couldn't be any easier to make... just make sure not too many licorice allsorts 'disappear' when you're cutting them up!

    Note: please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Prepare The Wet Ingredients

    Grease a slice tray and line it with baking paper overlapping the edges of the tray - this makes it easier to lift out and slice once chilled.

    Place the butter, sweetened condensed milk and golden syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on 50% power.

    Note: Alternatively you can melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a Thermomix.

    Mix wet ingredients to combine.

    Step 2 - Prepare The Dry Ingredients

    Cut the licorice allsorts into small slices.

    Crush the biscuits/cookies finely using your food processor or Thermomix.

    Step 3 - Mix

    With a spoon, mix the melted ingredients, the crushed biscuits, coconut and chopped licorice allsorts together until well combined.

    Mixing all the ingredients together  in a glass bowl, with a spoon.

    Press mixture evenly into your slice tray and set aside.

    Step 4 - Melt The Chocolate

    Roughly break up the chocolate (if using a block) and place the chocolate and vegetable or coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on 50% power.

    Note: Alternatively you can melt the chocolate and oil in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a Thermomix.

    Milk chocolate spread over the top of a slice, in a paper lined slice tin.

    Spread a layer of melted chocolate evenly over the slice and then refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting the slice into pieces.

    Expert Tips & FAQ's

    Why do you use vegetable or coconut oil in the chocolate layer?

    With the addition of a little vegetable oil or coconut oil, it makes the chocolate topping much easier to cut without the chocolate cracking. See my tips for cutting slices perfectly here.

    Can I use skim sweetened condensed milk?

    I recommend using full fat sweetened condensed milk for this recipe as the slice sets more firmly. I use the Nestle brand but any full fat sweetened condensed milk will work well.

    What can I use in place of golden syrup?

    You can substitute the golden syrup for corn syrup, honey or maple syrup.

    How do I store this licorice allsort slice?

    You can store your slice in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.

    Can I freeze this slice?

    This slice can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Notes

    Recipe Notes
    Golden syrup substitutions - you can replace the golden syrup with corn syrup, honey or maple syrup. 
    Adding a little mild vegetable or coconut oil to the milk chocolate - you can use either, whichever you prefer, makes the chocolate topping much easier to cut.
    More hints to avoid the chocolate from cracking when cutting - take the slice out of the fridge 30 minutes before cutting to allow the chocolate to soften slightly. Use a small serrated knife to cut through the chocolate layer and then through the base. See my tips for cutting slices perfectly.
    Setting time - Leave in the fridge to set for a minimum of 3 hours (overnight is even better). 
    Storing - Licorice Allsort Slice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
