This No Bake Choc Cherry Slice was one of my all time FAVOURITE slices when I was growing up – and still is now!  My Nan used to regularly make this when she came to visit and has even made it a couple of times to bring with her when she has flown up from Melbourne to visit us.

In my opinion this Cherry Ripe Slice is actually better than a store bought Cherry Ripe (there is more of it to enjoy after all!) and is surprisingly easy to make.  I like to load it up with lots of  glace cherries and I roughly chop mine into big chunks.  You could easily add them whole or cut them into small pieces however if you prefer.

This recipe makes a BIG slice, so make sure your baking tin and tall enough to accommodate it. For a super thick slice you could instead use a 20cm square cake tin to give it a little more height.
