Easy Hedgehog Slice
Ingredients
250g packet of plain biscuits
1/2 cut desiccated coconut
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
2 tbsp cocoa
150g dark chocolate, chopped
100g Western Star Unsalted Butter, chopped
295g can condensed milk
Method
Line the base and sides of a slice or lamington tin with baking paper and set aside
In a small saucepan, heat the dark chocolate, butter and condensed milk over a low heat for 5 minutes or until the mixture has melted. Set aside for a few minutes to cool
Meanwhile, place the biscuits into a zip lock bag, and push out all the air before sealing. Use the end of a rolling pin to carefully crush the biscuits. Or get the kids to break them up using their hands! Place the broken biscuits in a large bowl and add the coconut, walnuts and cocoa
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix well until everything has combined
Press firmly into the prepared tin with the back of a wooden spoon, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm
