Chocolate Hedgehog Slice..........

Well hello.......today I have a real treat for you..............

Literally........anyone up for a slice or two of chocolate hedgehog slice??.................

This is, quite seriously, possibly the best slice recipe......E.V.E.R.............yep.....easy peasy to make.............ridiculously easy to eat...........a lot..............

                                                                               

I've been eating this my whole life (well that sounds good?!).........the recipe is my mum's...........and I grew up constantly being told by friends that it is the best hedgehog they've eaten and what is the recipe...........so folks............here it is........family secret.............sshhhhh................

                                                              Chocolate Hedgehog Slice
                                                                                   

4 ozs butter
4 ozs sugar (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 egg - beaten (I just whisk quickly with a fork) (vintage...they whisk better did you know?!?)
1 packet Marie biscuits - broken up into small pieces (I find small children are handy for this)

                                                                             
1. In a large-ish saucepan melt the butter, sugar and cocoa powder. (Best to stir while this is going on)

2. Once melted take the saucepan off the heat and stir (QUICKLY!!!) in the beaten egg until it is cooked

3. Throw in the broken up biscuits and stir through

4. Slap it all into a slice tin (no need to line or grease) and press it down until lovely and even

5. Leave it to cool

6. Smother with chocolate icing and sprinkle whatever your little heart desires on top. Coloured sprinkles or    coconut are the favoured choices around here.

And that....is that............

                                                                               
   Easy as..........please give this a go.........I promise it is soooooo worth it.............

Now go and have a lovely day.......

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

And happy baking!!....................
