White Christmas Recipe

With Christmas fast approaching, now is the time to get cracking on your Christmas baking. The great thing about White Christmas slice is that you don’t have to bake. This version of the recipe does not include copha, rather you use white chocolate melts. It makes a lovely and thoughtful Christmas gift to share with friends.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

• 500g white chocolate melts
• 1 1/2 cups rice bubbles/rice krispies
• 100g red glace cherries halved
• 160g almonds, roasted, halved
• 160g sultanas
• 1 cup (90g) desiccated coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Line a 30cm x 20cm (base) baking pan with baking paper. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Pour mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down with a large metal spoon.

Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.

Once set, turn the slice onto a chopping board. Using a knife that has been dipped in hot water, cut into squares. Serve.

This makes a really nice Christmas gift for friends if you put the squares into Christmas cellophane and wrap it with a ribbon.
