How to cut slices without the chocolate breaking - my top tips!

When it comes to cutting slices into neat little pieces, I am obsessive. It's actually a little bit weird. BUT! If you're anything like me, and love the look of perfectly cut slices and bars, then here's my top tips:

Use a hot, dry knife to glide easily through the chocolate layer. Run your blade under boiling hot water and dry it completely before slicing. Continue to heat and dry your knife as you go.
Add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil or vegetable oil to the chocolate when melting. This helps to stop the chocolate from cracking.
Allow the slice to come to room temperature (or at least take it out of the fridge for 30 minutes) before slicing.

Now that is what a call a super delicious slice! This is absolutely perfect for a lunchbox treat, cake stalls, fetes, birthday parties... seriously anything!

Enjoy! xx

Hey there,
Just making this recipe and just wanted to let you know that it doesn’t say when to add the crushed Marie biscuits. I know it’s obvious but might be good to add that in the recipe.
Also, do you put the condensed milk in the microwave with the butter or you combine the two after the butter is melted?
Thanks so much…your recipes are great!!!
