Easy Marbled Choc-chip Slice

This week has definitely been a tough one, so the only thing that could truly make it better is chocolate! This recipe just looked fun and delicious and what could be a better combination than a cookie slice topped with chocolate perfection. As you can tell I’m a little excited by this dessert, hopefully it’ll turn out great. 

Wish me luck! 

(Hopefully they turn out like this!)

Ingredients 

485g Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookie mixture
1/3 cup Crushed Nuts
80g Butter, softened
1 Egg, lightly beaten
180g White Chocolate, chopped
200g Milk Chocolate, chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160ºC fan. Line a 28cm x 18cm slice tin with non-stick baking paper, extending over the two long sides.
2. Empty contents of cookie mixture packet into a bowl and add nuts. Add butter and egg. Mix with a wooden spoon, and then your hands, to combine evenly. Press into tin, using the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake for 20 mins or until golden brown. Cool in the tin.
3. Place chocolate in separate bowls and microwave, one at a time, for 2 mins, or until soft. Stir until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of chocolates onto the slice, and use a skewer to create a marbled effect. Place in the fridge for 20 mins, or until set.
4. Stand slice at room temperature for chocolate to soften slightly. Lift from the tin and cut into squares to serve.

Review

This recipe couldn't have been EASIER if it tried! When I first looked at the recipe I thought the base was going to be made from scratch but instead this recipe cuts all corners. The slice is absolutely heavenly and the best part is making your own marble design on top! Not only were they a hit with my family but also with my friends, making them the perfect (and easiest) party favor.

Recipe Amendments/Recommendations

The only amendments/recommendations I would make to the recipe are:

• If you want more of a white chocolate marble effect on top, buy an extra slab of white chocolate and melt half of it
• If you don’t like a dominate nutty taste, put less crushed nuts in the slice 
• Fan forced ovens which have been preheated will cook the slice in about 15 minutes so keep an eye on the slice so it doesn't burn; and finally
• Make 2 RECIPES because they are honestly amazing!

Another recipe success!
