Chocolate Hedgehog Slice

1. 1

   First of all...biscuits are the Australian terms for cookies. Just so you aren't too confused.

2. 2

   Break up biscuits into bits. Not crumbed, just pieces no larger the size of a 20c piece (Australia) or a quarter (USA). Of course they can be bigger or smaller depending on what you prefer. I prefer whatever is the fastest to do!

3. 3

   In large pan melt the butter, then add the sugar, sultanas and cocoa. Heat and keep mixing until hot but not boiling. Take off the heat.

4. 4

   Mixing very quickly, add the beaten eggs in small amounts incorporating each lot before adding the next.

5. 5

   Some people prefer to add the eggs when the mixture has cooled a bit but I like the thought that the eggs have cooked. (It is a psychological thing!)

6. 6

   Fold in broken biscuits.

7. 7

   Press mixture into a foil lined tray (30x25cm).

8. 8

   Refrigerate to set for a couple of hours.

9. 9

   To make the icing / frosting....

10. 10

    Mix the icing sugar, 4 TBS cocoa and 2 TBS melted butter with enough warm water to give a spreadable consistency. Beat until smooth. Spread over the hedgehog and leave until it has set.

    I store this slice in the fridge.
