This festive Hedgehog Slice is for life, not just for Christmas!
Hedgehog slice is one of my favourite things. It’s kind of a cross between fudge and a rocky road, only heaps simpler. Hedgehog slice is a big slab of old school deliciousness, especially this version with a festive twist.
This festive hedgehog is full of the colours of Christmas, red, green and white and the hardest thing about it is stopping at just one piece because truly it’s totally irresistible!
This recipe is super versatile, I like to use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for a slightly sweeter slice! I tried to cover all my bases, so I’ve included the Thermomix and the stove top version, so no one needs to miss out!
