Slices have been a hit for the lunchboxes in our house and they have been a hit with me. They are super easy to make and no fussing around, simply slice once cooked and eat.
This Choc Chip Slice recipe has a delicious caramel undertone with the choc chips sprinkled on top. Being such a versatile mix you could sprinkle with seeds, nuts, coconut, white choc chip, sultanas etc experiment with different toppings each week to keep things interesting.
INGREDIENTS
125gm Butter, melted
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 Cup Plain Flour
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Bicarbonate Soda
Pinch Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
3/4 Cup Choc Chips
LETS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
1. In a medium mixing bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla essence. Mix well to form a smooth caramel texture batter.
2. Add the remaining dry ingredients (except the choc chips) and mix well.
3. Pour into a lined square (20cm x 20cm) baking dish. Sprinkle with the choc chips and bake in a 18o degree celcius oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and it bounces back when touched.
4. Allow to cool slightly then lift the baking paper out with the slice, place on a bench and cut into slices.
Makes 16 slices
Store in an air tight container on the bench for up to 5 days.
Freezer friendly: Place slices into zip lock bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thanks for the great recipes.most i can convert to gluten free which helps.
That’s so good to hear. Enjoy
Suzanne How did u convert this to gluten free did u use just plain gf flour and the rest of the ingredients he same??
I’m just starting on a gf journey. Any chance you can tell me the gf conversion? I’d be really greatful.
Amanda this is AMAZING !!! Thx
So glad you like it. This has to be one of my favourite slices.
Hi Amanda, I have a son who can’t have the egg in this recipe. What substitutes would you suggest? Thanx
Hi Danielle, I actually made this without the egg last week (added a little more milk) and it turned out just as good.
Thank you for that, I’ll give it a go.
Hi can I use s r flour and not use bi carb and baking powder. I don’t like the taste. For some reason I can taste it every time. Thanx
Yes, I would like to know this also.
Yes you can. The texture will change slightly with the self raising flour (you may find it a little fluffier) as I have used plain flour and the baking powder and bi carb to regulate the rise.

This slice lasts 5 days on the bench??!! Not in our house 🙂
Haha, not in ours either.
Hi, can you mix the chocolate chips through the batter, I want to try and make these in my brownie maker.
Yes you can, but they will melt more and spread the through the mixture instead of maintaining their shape – they will of course still taste fab.

Can someone please tell me the nutritional information for these please?
I have been making this slice for years.
It is yummy.
I need to hide it from myself!!
Hi, I just made this tonight and it’s great. Was so quick and easy as an alternate to choc chip cookies when you haven’t the time. I substituted 1/2 cup sr flour, 1/2 cup plain instead of baking powder and bi carb and I also added 1/4 cup custard powder. Very happy with result. I love melt n mix slices and often make brownies so this can be a new alternate. Thank you.
So glad to hear.
My only complaint after making this yesterday is that you clearly state that it will keep for 5 days in a sealed container ….. I only have 6 slices left 🙂
Haha yes mine never lasts the 5 days either.
Can U freeze this slice?
Yes you can, if it makes it into the freezer. 🙂
Hi, would this still work without the sugar? Trying to cut back on sugar for my son.
Ta, chantelle
Yes it will still work without sugar, but it won’t be very flavoursome. Maybe try a sugar alternative to sweeten.
curious to know if I use self raising flour would I use exact same amount – also instead of sprinkling choc chips on top could I mix through??
If you mix through you risk them melting as the mix is warm.
