these are my own invention. I named it spider man slice, inspired by my nephew. Its a crunchy caramel flavoured base covered with peanut ganache and then the "spiderweb" is chocolate drizzled on top. Give it a go :) Your little spider man will love them.
makes about 30 pieces.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups SR flour
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 150g butter, melted.
- 60g dark chocolate ( for the top)
- 180g white chocolate
- 1/3 cup thickened cream
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter ( or smooth whichever you prefer)
- Preheat the oven to 180'c or 160'c fan-forced. Grease and line a square slice pan with baking paper.
- Combine flour,coconut,sugar and butter in a bowl and press over base of pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until Golden. Cool.
- Make Ganache: Place chocolate and cream in a saucepan on low heat. Stir with a metal spoon until combined. Stir in peanut butter. Set aside to cool for 5 mins. Pour over base, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or 1 hour in the freezer until firm.
- Melt the chocolate and drizzle with a spoon in a spider web shape, do the X on the slice first and just continue the pattern.
- Wait for chocolate to set and then cut into squares.
