Are you craving a sweet treat and want to mix it up from the usual cookies or cakes? I have just the recipe for you! This easy Hedgehog Slice is the perfect combination of rich, crunchy, and chocolatey. It’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth (and have you going back for another piece!). If you aren’t familiar with how slices are made, it’s really quite simple. They’re typically no-bake desserts, but this one does require a quick step on the stovetop. Let’s get into how it’s made!

The first ingredient listed is digestive biscuits which might have some of you scratching your head. The name is more commonly used in Europe, but they’re essentially a slightly sweet cracker or cookie. I used the Mexican cookie brand Marias as that’s what was available at my grocery store, but graham crackers will also work just fine.

The cookies are broken up into small pieces and mixed with coconut, walnuts, and a bit of cinnamon. A melted sauce of butter, condensed milk, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips is poured in to form the base of the slice. Press the mixture into a lined baking dish, then top it all off with a layer of melted chocolate.

Now comes the hard part… waiting for it to set. This can be sped up in the fridge, but you’ll want to give the slice a good hour or so before cutting into it. I promise it’s worth the wait. Give this Hedgehog Slice a try for your next special occasion and it’s sure to be a hit!
