I have made this easy-peasy sweet on many occasions and it is always a hit! This is the one recipe people always ask me for. It is simply a variation of the humble Hedgehog slice.
Chocolate Biscuit Slice / Bar
750 grams milk chocolate
250 grams butter
1 packet of Marie or Rich Tea Biscuits (Lightly crushed)
2 eggs (well beaten)
1 cup of chopped hazelnuts
1/2 cup of chopped raspberry lollies or any favourite lolly/sweet
200 grams white chocolate
Method
1. Line a lamington tray or shallow tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Put biscuits into a bag and lightly crush them, I normally wrap a tea-towel around the bag and give it a few hits with a rolling pin. (The key is to still have some large chunks)
3. Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat until combined and take off heat.
4. Add beaten eggs and mix well.
5. Add nuts, sweets/ lollies and broken biscuits to the mixture and combine.
6. Spread mixture in tin and make the top as smooth as possible by using a spatula. Allow to chill for 30 minutes.
7. Spread melted white chocolate over chilled mixture and if you're extra adventurous you can make some fun patterns or add grated chocolate or desicated coconut.
8. Chill overnight, and then cut with a sharp knife and serve.
Happy Caking! xxx
This is a pretty hot cupcake item at the moment. They look so cute and you know any little person's eyes would light up with excitement at the thought of eating this...
Now I have no shame in saying that I used a packet mix :-O I was scared they weren't going to turn out, and a packet mix was such an easier alternative.
This is what I used to make my little monsters...
Firstly I baked my Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Muffins into some blue cupcake cases.
Whist they were cooling I made the googly eyes. I laid out my Nestle White Melts and with a little melted chocolate on the side I proceeded to stick on currants with the melted chocolate acting as my "glue".
I cut my cookies into halves and then I coloured half a bag of shredded coconut with some Blue Queen Food Colouring.
I then cut a triangular incision which removes some of the cake into the bottom part of the cupcake, this is where the cookie sits, I also cut a slit towards the top of the cake for the eyes to sit in.
Once cakes have been frosted with a plain blue frosting, dip the entire cupcake into the coconut until generously coated.
Hold the bottom of the cake firmly so the cookie can securely be inserted. Using the slit made at the top of the cupcake, insert two of your already prepared eyes.
They are so much easier than what they look, and it is priceless to see these served up a a kids birthday party. They are definitely a hit!
