Triple Chocolate Slice

Submitted by Chrissyo

"This Chocolate slice is very moist. By changing the flour and the icing sugar to gluten free products, you can surprise your coeliac friends with a wonderful moist slice. Often, I give a twist to this recipe, I add a large hand full of the Choc Mint herb which has been crushed or finely chopped into a paste like texture. The choc mint is added to the saucepan as the chocolate butter mixture is cooling. This is so refreshing and a lovely treat."

brilliant!! Made this for the cafe I work at, used the flaked almonds, and baked it in an 8 x 8 tin. When it was cold I cut it into slices, and it looked really good!!! tasted better, now its a regular on the menu, with many people having it just because it looks good :) thanks Chrissy

I was disappointed. I was expecting a very moist chocolate slice, but it came out very dry and bland. It was more of a brownie, really; I was expecting more of a cake.

WOW!! My partner's father is a coeliac (and a chocoholic) and gets really down that he cant eat all of the things that he used to love. So I made these for him and he was thrilled! The only thing I changed was that I used walnuts instead of almonds/white chocolate and I added a few tablespoons of peanut butter. The result was a beautiful rich and moist brownie like slice. Thanks for this great recipe!!!
