What You Need

With basic pantry ingredients and a bag of yummy licorice allsorts, you can enjoy this licorice allsort slice so quickly and easily!

Note: please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

butter - salted or unsalted, either are fine to use in this recipe
sweetened condensed milk - choosefull fat sweetened condensed milkas it sets the slice more firmly than the skim version
golden syrup - if you can't find golden syrup in your supermarket, you can substitute it for corn syrup, honey or maple syrup. You can even make your own golden syrup, however convenience really is the key here!
sweet plain biscuits/cookies - I like to use Arnotts Marie biscuits but you can use any plain sweet biscuit (known as cookies in the US). Graham crackers are a good alternative for a sweet plain cookie.
desiccated coconut - desiccated coconutis very finely grated coconut that contains moisture but is dry to the taste and touch
licorice allsorts - choose a good quality licorice allsort such as Darrell Lea
milk chocolate - you can use either 'melts' or a block, but again, chose a good quality baking chocolate such as Cadbury baking products
vegetable or coconut oil - this is optional, however, adding this to the chocolate makes it much easier to cut the slice without the chocolate cracking.

Step By Step Instructions

Believe me, this recipe couldn't be any easier to make... just make sure not too many licorice allsorts 'disappear' when you're cutting them up!

Note: please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

Step 1 - Prepare The Wet Ingredients

Grease a slice tray and line it with baking paper overlapping the edges of the tray - this makes it easier to lift out and slice once chilled.

Place the butter, sweetened condensed milk and golden syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on 50% power.

Note: Alternatively you can melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a Thermomix.

Mix wet ingredients to combine.

Step 2 - Prepare The Dry Ingredients

Cut the licorice allsorts into small slices.

Crush the biscuits/cookies finely using your food processor or Thermomix.

Step 3 - Mix

With a spoon, mix the melted ingredients, the crushed biscuits, coconut and chopped licorice allsorts together until well combined.

Press mixture evenly into your slice tray and set aside.

Step 4 - Melt The Chocolate

Roughly break up the chocolate (if using a block) and place the chocolate and vegetable or coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on 50% power.

Note: Alternatively you can melt the chocolate and oil in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a Thermomix.

Spread a layer of melted chocolate evenly over the slice and then refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting the slice into pieces.

Notes

Recipe Notes

Golden syrup substitutions - you can replace the golden syrup with corn syrup, honey or maple syrup.

Adding a little mild vegetable or coconut oil to the milk chocolate - you can use either, whichever you prefer, makes the chocolate topping much easier to cut.

More hints to avoid the chocolate from cracking when cutting - take the slice out of the fridge 30 minutes before cutting to allow the chocolate to soften slightly. Use a small serrated knife to cut through the chocolate layer and then through the base. See my tips for cutting slices perfectly.

Setting time -Leave in the fridge to set for a minimum of 3 hours (overnight is even better).

Storing - Licorice Allsort Slice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
