This is a very quick and easy slice to make and what’s best is that it doesn’t need to be baked in the oven! I like to work on the theory that even though it has chocolate in it – the fruit and nuts make it healthy! 🙂
This is also a great way to be able to clean your TM bowl and sit down and enjoy a lovely cup of warm chocolate milk.

The only thing I don’t have in the cupboard is Scotch Fingers…but I have the choc topped ones. I’m gonna attempt it tomorrow…or very soon!
Making this for the 3rd time! Big hit in our house…especially with choc coated Scotch Finger biccies 😉
