Description
A straightforward recipe for a classic no-bake chocolate slice with a crunchy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g butter
- 200g dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 cups crushed biscuits (like Marie or digestive)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Extra 100g dark chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with baking paper, leaving an overhang.
- Melt the butter, 200g dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and golden syrup together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Do not boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Melt the remaining 100g of dark chocolate in a separate bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the slice mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the slice out using the paper overhang and cut into squares before serving.
Notes

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
