Do you ever have one of those days where your diary is empty and you can do whatever you please? I had one of those mornings yesterday. I was dreaming of wearing PJs, baking cakes, and doing lots of nothing with Lulu. First up was making choc-chip slice. So I got out all the ingredients and we started cooking.
Lulu doses this cute thing where she wants to be part of everything, so she’ll drag {screach!} a stool over to where ever she needs be, and climbs up and she’s there. She’ll make toast {read: eat peanut butter from the jar}, do the washing up {read: put water EVERYWHERE} and make cakes with me {read: taste test the batter over and over and over again}.
It was meant to be a chewy choc-chip slice with coconut in it. But we had no coconut. And then when I add the melted butter to the mix, it melted all the chocolate and it was all just a bit of a mess.
And it was at that point, when I was contemplating throwing it all out, then I remembered that I didn’t have a free day at all, and that I was 14 minutes away from an appointment that took 20 minutes to drive to.
Long story short: we made it to the appointment, and the slice was amazing. Like seriously, I think it would be better than the original recipe {but of course I’ll make that later on just to be sure!}.
So without any further a-do, I bring you chewy chocolate slice.
Chewy Chocolate Slice
Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius {160 degrees Celsius if you have a fan-forced oven}.
- Grease and line a 18cm by 28cm slice pan.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup. Remove from heat when butter has melted. Remove from heat, and place choc-chips in the pan, and stir until melted thoroughly.
- Combine the flours, caster sugar, and oats in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the butter mixture and stir. Add the egg, and stir until completely combined.
- Press the mixture into the prepared tin, and smooth over using the back of a spoon.
- Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Let cool {if you’re patient enough} slightly, and then cut into squares.
It’s the rolled oats, they make everything tasty!

I’m thinking that some orange zest would be super scrummy in there too!
