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.
