Directions
Chocolate Mint Slice, Posted by request from the Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Original Cookbook’ Prep time estimated, This recipe is from an AUSTRALIAN cookbook from the 70’s
Weight of butter and shortening was in ounces in the book 6oz butter, 1oz veg shortening, 3oz veg shortening, respectively
Australians don’t measure in ounces anymore but still often use cups for some dry ingredients and liquids In Australia we use a vegetable shortening called Copha – some sort of solid coconut oil, do not know the American equivalent And drinking chocolate is hot chocolate powder or can be made using equal parts cocoa and icing (powdered) sugar
This is one of my all time favourite recipes, loved it when i was a kid and still love it now There are newer versions that use real chocolate and vegetable oil but they are just not the same, i love the copha and dont care if it is bad for me!
