Peppermint Slice

Peppermint Slice is one of those delicious old fashioned slices that we never tire of. The peppermint, chocolate flavours are a classic taste sensation and the Tefal Cuisine Companion mixes these slices in minutes. These are perfect served as an after dinner treat or anytime when you want a delicious peppermint, chocolate slice to serve to family or guests.

Note: I've used Granita biscuits for the base but any favourite store bought or home made biscuit can be used.
Note: I've used the Mini Bowl to crush biscuits but the regular bowl can be used with the steamer insert fitted.

Line a 20cm x 30cm baking tray with baking paper extending the paper over the long sides of tray to facilitate easy removal of slice.
