Mint Slice

This is my Mum's recipe. It was a favourite when i was growing up, now i make it for the cafe, and special occasions.

Peppermint Slice

Base

1 and half cups Self Raising Flour

half cup of brown sugar

1 cup dessicated coconut

180 gms butter

Filling

250 gms icing sugar

2 and half tbsp milk

50gms copha

1tsp peppermint essence

Topping

1 Block cooking chocolate, melted

Melt the butter and add to dry ingrediants for base. Press into lined slice tray. Bake mod oven (180 degrees) until light golden brown. While still warm , spread over mint filling. Mint Filling : melt copha and milk together over warm heat in saucepan, add essence and sifted icing sugar, stir till smooth.

When it has been refridgerated till cold, carefully pour over melted chocolate, spread evenly, then let set...nice..slice..

When i melt the chocolate, i sometimes add a couple of tablespoons of oil, it makes a smoother chocolate topping and it's easier to slice..
