Chocolate Hedgehog Slice is a classic Australian treat that originated during the 1970s. It is made from broken biscuits, cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, and sultanas, all combined together to make a dense, fudgy slice that is then topped with a smooth chocolate mixture. This recipe is easy to make and requires no baking, making it a great option for those who crave chocolatey treats but don't have baking skills. The slice gets its name from its appearance, which resembles the spines of a hedgehog.
