CHOCOLATE MINT SLICE (NEW & IMPROVED)

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).

While 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.
