I love baking. Always have. Whilst I love cooking and have gained enough confidence to cook from my head with some great results, baking is very structured and ordered and that is what I like.

But… I also like easy recipes! We had a morning tea at work yesterday for Jeans for Genes day. I baked Damp Orange and Almond Cake on Wednesday night (yes, blog post to follow!) and wanted something to just throw together that would have ok results!

I found this recipe from an email from one of the Supermums mentioned in my Friendship blog post. It was sent it to us in 2004 and I have only just gotten around to trying it. I have lots of recipes like this!

One of my habits is that when I ‘damage’ something intentionally I name it. So I throw cardboard boxes in the compactor at work and name them, then squash them. I chop up the used gift cards at work and name them. Well this recipe let me name lots of different people and things as I bashed malt biscuits! I could have done it in the food processor, but I used my trusty rolling pin. I used a bit of force as I bashed through three plastic bags! So I put them in a bowl and kept bashing. So yes, beware if ever you get on my wrong side!

The rest is super easy! Melt butter, choc mint chocolate and a tin of condensed milk together. Condensed milk= instant win!

Finally you mix it together

Spread it into a tin and top with melted chocolate:

After half an hour or so in the fridge you can cut it.

I think everyone who had a taste at work came back for seconds. Lots of nice comments too!

Oh and here is the recipe! Thanks again Myf! And make sure you don’t wait 4 years to try this!

Choc Mint Slice

2 packets 250g malt biscuits
185g butter
1 x 400g tin condensed milk
1 x 250g block peppermint chocolate
185g dark chocolate drops

Melt together the condensed milk, butter and peppermint chocolate over low heat until combined. To crush biscuits, place them in a bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add crushed biscuits to chocolate mixture. Line a large slice tin with gladwarp and press mixture into tin. Melt chocolate drops in the microwave for 1 minute and spread over the top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing into small squares.

And it must be wholesome as the biscuit packet advertises this nutritional gem:
