Monday Chocolate Hedgehog

When l was at University in Melbourne from 1976 to 1983, a friend introduced me to his mother’s Mrs Grace Chocolate Hedgehog slices, they were indescribably good and yummy and mouth watering, Haven’t had Chocolate Hedgehog since those days, so l tracked down a recipe on line on the weekend and made a batch this morning. Got to admit Mrs Grace still has the worlds best tasting chocolate hedgehog, but mine were pretty good all the same.

I did one change to the recipe below, l added 200 ml of coconut cream from a tin l had opened in the fridge, for no other reason than to use it up, , on reflection, l don’t think it added anything to the recipe outcome and wouldn’t do it again in the future.
