There is no doubt about it, a cup of tea or coffee always is more enjoyable with a small sweet treat to go with it. This Chocolate Mint Slice is a perfect example and the beauty is it’s an easy baking recipe that can be mixed all in one bowl.
What is also nice about this slice is that it has a slight crunch (thanks to the Weet Bix) and a hint of peppermint. Delicious!

Chocolate Mint Slice
Adapted from Recipes, Jul/Aug 2007
Ingredients
125g butter, diced
¼ teaspoon peppermint essence
½ cup sugar
½ cup desiccated coconut
¾ cup self-raising flour
3 Weet-Bix crushed
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup cocoa
Method
Preheat oven to 180C/360F. Grease a slice pan (26x16cm) or line it with baking paper. The latter makes it easier to lift the slice from the pan when it’s cooked.
Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and melt (MEDIUM for approximately 2 minutes). Cool slightly then stir in all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and press into the prepared pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm. Cool, remove from pan and cut into slices. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
