Raw Chocolate Mint Slice

Late one afternoon after a long few hours sitting patiently in the shopping trolley, 4-year-old me finally reached the counter to pay for our groceries. There, sparkling at me under the fluorescent lights, was a Mint Slice. I put on my best grown-up voice and asked: "Mum, can I have one of those?!". "Only on your birthday" was the disappointing reply. Sure enough, many months later the day rolled around and I asked expectantly where my Mint Slice was, much to the surprise of my mum.

Since that day, mint slices have held a special place in my heart as a yearly birthday treat. As my diet has changed over the years, I've focussed on recreating many of my childhood comfort foods in an equally-delicious, healthy form. I can safely say these Chocolate Mint Slices tick all the right boxes.

A crumbly, coconutty base.

A zesty, creamy mint filling. 

A smooth, rich, dark chocolate top. 

The most decadent, delicious treat.

I think this just might become a yearly tradition for me...

Enjoy!
