Ingredients For Peppermint Chocolate Slice
- sweetened condensed milk
- butter
- Cadbury peppermint chocolate
- cocoa powder
- peppermint extract (optional)
- plain sweet biscuits (like Arnott's Marie biscuits or a plain sugar cookie or butter cookie).
- white chocolate
- coconut oil
- green food colouring
How To Make Peppermint Chocolate Slice
Step 1 - Crush the biscuits
Use a food processor or Thermomix to crush the biscuits into crumbs (it's fine for some larger chunks to remain). Stir through the cocoa powder.
Step 2 - Melt the butter, peppermint chocolate and sweetened condensed milk
Melt in the microwave (or Thermomix) until smooth.
Step 3 - Mix together
Pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit crumbs and mix to combine. Press into a lined slice pan and place into the fridge.
Step 4 - Prepare the chocolate topping layer
Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave on 50% power. Pour over the chilled slice and swirl through drops of green food colouring.
How To Swirl Food Colouring Through Chocolate
A chocolate swirled top layer is my absolute favourite way to finish a no-bake slice. It looks so effective but is actually really simple to do (just like in my pink Turkish Delight Slice version).
Here's my top tips for getting this pretty finish to your white chocolate layer:
- Add coconut oil to the white chocolate when melting (this makes it easier to swirl the food colouring through later on).
- Work quickly - you don't want the chocolate to set while you're still swirling!
- Add small (think... tiny!) drops of food colouring all over the slice - if the drops are too big, they won't set.
- Use a skewer or a knife to swirl the food colouring through in circular motions.

This is my go to slice. I am in the middle of making 4 batches for Christmas gifts. It always is the first to go at fete stalls, voting day cake stall, Bunnings cake stall and trivia nights. I think I have made about 20 batches this year and every time at least one person asks for the recipe!

Yum. Love the recipe mine ending up been a salted caramel version. I didnt read to see what I needed. So I unwrapped a pack of caramel eggs and made some sort of caramel topping. ( sprinkled with salt) I would love to try the peppermint version when I restock my chocolate cupboard.
Lucy
Oooh how delicious!!!! YUM!
dave
What could i use instead of coconut oil?
Lucy
Hi Dave, you can omit it entirely or use a little vegetable oil instead.
dave
Thankyou going to try this tomorrow.
Lucy
Good luck!!!
