RECIPE TIPS & TRICKS
Types Of Cookies To Use: You can use any type of plain sweet cookies for the base (like graham crackers if you’re in the US, Arnott’s Marie biscuits if you’re in Australia or digestive biscuits).
Peppermint Chocolate: Cadbury peppermint chocolate can be bought in any supermarket in Australia or New Zealand. It has a milk chocolate outer layer filled with smooth peppermint filling. You can substitute for any soft filled peppermint chocolate block.
Peppermint Extract: Adding a couple of drops of peppermint extract to the slice gives it an extra peppermint flavoured boost. You can purchase peppermint extract from the baking section of most supermarkets (near the vanilla extract). You can omit the peppermint extract if you prefer.
Green Swirled Chocolate Layer: To achieve the green swirled effect, add coconut oil to the white chocolate when melting (as this makes it easier to swirl the food colouring through). Add tiny drops of food colouring all over the slice and use a skewer or a knife to swirl the food colouring through in circular motions.
Cutting The Slice: To cut the perfect slices, use a hot dry knife (run it under very hot water and then dry it with a tea towel) to gently score the chocolate layer. Once the chocolate layer has been scored through, press down firmly with the knife.
Storing The Slice: Store the slice in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. The slice can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature.
