Chocolate Fudge Slice

Life events can sometimes be valuable teaching moments. Sometimes they are there to offer up reminders, or reacquaint you with some base level skills. This was one of these occasions.

First lesson: always line the pan.

Second lesson: when it says cool in the pan for 10 minutes, maybe do that.

Third lesson: if you try to remove slice from pan without completing these first two steps, you'll be faced with warm slice peeling off a tin in slabs down into a sink of oblivion while your significant other doesn't know whether to laugh, shake their head in embarrassment, or consider trading you in for a smarter model. Not great.

Not to be deterred! Once you've mastered those basics (or overcome your boneheadedness), this is super easy to make. In fact, this is slice-making 101 - mix up your wet ingredients, throw the dry ones in a bowl, give it stir, give it a bake, slather the top with icing and you're done! You should end up with a rich and super-chocolatey treat with a sumptuous soft centre.
