Licorice Allsorts Slice Recipe
This Licorice Allsort Slice recipe comes out just once a year and that is because my brain has categorised this as strictly a Christmas slice. That is not to say that the rest of the world shouldn’t make this anytime of year, particularly if you have a hankering for some licorice and even better, licorice with chocolate which everyone knows is a delicious combination. It may be the reason I make this only at Christmas is because licorice allsorts look like tiny presents OR because I first saw a recipe based on licorice and chocolate just before Christmas, made it and have kept up some sort of OCD tradition (I have several other recipes that only come out just at Christmas which will be coming soon too so keep watch).
What I really love about this recipe apart from the delicious combination of flavours is how incredibly easy this is and how it is a no-bake recipe which are the best kinds of recipes of all for busy bakers especially at Christmas. These keep well and can be frozen but you may lose a bit of the chocolate sheen.
Any brand of licorice allsorts will work but if you are lucky enough to come across the miniature ones it will save you a bit of chopping time (and they look really cute too).

Carolyn started her blog Pinkpostitnote.com just over a year ago as a way to deal with her obsession of trying new recipes from the copious collection of cookbooks that she owns (and continues to buy). She is particularly fond of “man” food, both cooking it and eating it. She will happily elbow people out of the road at the sight, sound and smell of a pulled pork burger. When she’s not lying awake at 5am wondering if she should buy chooks and a cow to deal with the constant need for eggs and butter, she’s dealing with all the paperwork associated with owning a bunch of tip trucks and her favorite time of the day is wine five o-clock.
