This Peppermint Crisp Slice is a great example of how my taste buds have changed into adulthood! You see, growing up I was always more inclined to eat lollies than chocolate. At some point in my adulthood that changed. Probably when I met my chocolate loving husband.
While I like chocolate with caramel or honeycomb bits my all time favourite is peppermint chocolate. So I felt the need to create a peppermint slice with a little extra kick of peppermint. The end result was this peppermint crisp slice, which has a lovely bit of crunch and perfect ratio of chocolate to peppermint flavour.
