Frugal Chocolate Slice

Frugal chocolate slice on cooling rack with crumbs and baking ingredients in background.

This Frugal Chocolate Slice has lovely basic ingredients that you will have on hand in your pantry already, and it is just delicious.  This is one of my Mum’s recipes – really easy to make and even good for the kids to make alone.

The best recipe for a quick bite at parties – or, when you’re just hungry!

Delicious frugal chocolate slice with a rich, fudgy texture perfect for sharing.

It is a great recipe for the school lunch box – or make a few and freeze it so you can grab it out anytime!

Now if you don’t have any Rice Bubbles on hand – you really can substitute them for any basic cereal.  I’ve made this recipe with Weetbix and Cornflakes and it has worked out just as well!

You can even turn this recipe into a dessert, just heat up a slice, top it with a bit of Chocolate or Caramel Sauce, and a great big scoop of vanilla ice cream – yum!

Perfect for a sometimes after school snack or morning tea with the girls!
