Forget about buying commercial mint slice biscuits, this slice tastes so much better. As a bonus, it's a no-bake slice. - Periwinkle

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

It may be easier to mix this using your hands, rather than a spoon.
This slice tastes better the next day.
It can be very difficult to cut when completely set, so try cutting it into slices after a couple of hours in the fridge.
I use 2 x 250 g packets of Malt-O-Milk biscuits for the base.
You can use either light or dark choc bits or cooking chocolate for the topping.
