Sometimes you just need a good no bake tray bake recipe am I right? This No Bake Mint Chocolate Slice has everything. It’s quick and easy, no bake, fun and brightly coloured and most of all…. Down right scrumptious!

Calling all New Zealanders! You know those Mint Slice biscuits? I absolutely adore those biscuits and these taste exactly like those biscuits but in no bake slice form. You have the crunch from the crushed biscuit and chocolate base, the soft peppermint center and the crack from the melted chocolate top.

(If you don’t have those biscuits I believe in some parts of the world you have Thin Mints? I’ve never had one of those but I’m sure this will taste similar to those.)

Basically take any mint chocolate block of chocolate and you have the same deep, rich peppermint and chocolate flavours only the texture and slice is different. Obviously… I’m sorry if I’m rambling and not explaining this well. I seem to be a bit tongue tied this morning. Let’s break this down: Chocolate + Peppermint = Perfection.

For the base of this slice I used my Mallows Balls recipe as that always turns out a lovely sweet, chocolate and crunchy recipe. I knew the lighter chocolate flavour and the texture would work perfectly with the peppermint filling. The filling is just a simple icing sugar, butter and water mixture with the addition of peppermint extract and green food colouring to give a distinct ‘mint’ look. The food colouring is of course, optional.

Top that with melted chocolate and a touch of butter to give it a nice shine and you have yourself a very refreshing sweet treat without even having to turn on the oven!
