What goes into the recipe
don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for full ingredients and method
- chocolate ripple biscuits- you need the full 250 grams of a pack to make these
- coconut oil-it's super important that you don't use liquid coconut oil, and that instead you melt regular coconut oil. Why? Liquid coconut oil will not set, so it won't allow the slice to set.
- rolled oats- otherwise known as porridge oats
- desiccated coconut- not shredded as it breaks down the structural integrity of the slice when you cut into it!
- puffed rice- I've used puffed rice. You can use rice bubbles/ rice crispies instead if you prefer, but they have additional ingredients in them. I have a few recipes on the blog that use puffed rice, so if you buy a big pack and want to use it all, you could try these "Not quite LCMs" rice bubble bars or even these Rice bubble monsters
- dark chocolate melts- don't swap these for milk chocolate, it's way too sweet! Likewise, white chocolate is not ok in this. If you're looking for a no-bake white chocolate recipe, I recommend trying White Christmas.

Expert Tips and FAQs
This slice is so easy to make.
If you don't have one, you can crush the biscuits by hand, but the oats will stay whole. This may make them unpleasant in the slice, but really it depends on what you are used to.
No! I used normal coconut oil and melted it. Why? Because liquid coconut oil will not set and therefore the slice won't set...resulting in a big mess.
This slice is best stored in the fridge. It will be shelf stable for a few hours if it isn't hot, but chocolate and coconut oil will eventually melt, resulting in the slice melting.
Yes! It freezes and defrosts well.
