Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Crushed plain biscuits (such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
- 40 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 250 grams Powdered sugar
- 75 grams Butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix the crushed plain biscuits, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar together.
Add the melted butter and sweetened condensed milk to the dry mixture and stir until the mixture resembles a thick, sticky dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base. Use the back of a spoon or a flat surface to press it firmly. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
To make the peppermint filling, beat the powdered sugar, softened butter, peppermint extract, and food coloring (if using) together until smooth and creamy.
Spread the peppermint filling evenly over the chilled chocolate base. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Return to the refrigerator to chill for another 15 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and completely melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peppermint layer and spread evenly. Gently tap the pan on the counter to smooth out the surface.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slice out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
