Hedgehog Slice

4 ingredient hedgehog slice

Serves 12

There are two words I love to see in a recipe, “four ingredient” and “no bake” and I love that I see both these wonderful word couplets can be applied to this recipe.

I have no idea how the Hedgehog Slice got it’s name but I do know that it’s very delicious. Think chocolate slice, packed with crunchy biscuit chunks and juicy, plump sultanas. Of course, this slice is easily tweaked, just add in your favourite combo of cookies, dried fruit or even nuts, and off you go, on your one way ticket to Chocolate Heaven.

This recipe is ridiculously easy, the hardest part is waiting for the slice to set! So tell me, if you had your pick of the pantry to make a Hedgehog Slice, what would you put in yours?
