description Hedgehog Slice Overview

Hedgehog slice is an Australian no-bake chocolate confection made by combining broken or crushed plain biscuits with cocoa, butter, and other binding ingredients. The mixture is pressed into a tray, chilled until firm, and usually covered with chocolate icing before being cut into squares or bars. Pieces of biscuit remain visible in each portion and create its characteristic uneven texture. It is a familiar form of home baking suited to parties, lunchboxes, and café displays.
