This seems to be the Chocolate blog week! And I think there is still another chocolate recipe to come 🙂

This time I am cheating, or should I say sharing the love, as I just can’t take the credit for the awesome base of this slice.  But like many successes sometimes they have to come from a failure.

I came across Heather from Cook it up Paleo when I was looking for a chocolate bliss ball.  While these Ultimate Chocolate Macaroons were not quite what I was looking for, her recipe looked so tasty they distracted me and I had to cook them up.

Well, I think that I had only been out of hospital for less than a week.  You know old lady gets a new hip, but cooking obsession takes hold and so hobbles on crutches to the kitchen.  And this is where the failure comes in.  I made the mixture using what I had in the cupboard.  Cooked about a 1/3 and froze the rest for later.  I couldn’t wait to try them, so did the usual photo and tucked in.

Oh no.  At this point I realised that I hadn’t read the all the instructions and in my enthusiasm (read should still be resting quietly in bed), I missed out the egg.  Sorry Heather I didn’t tell you this!  But don’t get me wrong these were still tasty eggless, but I’d recommend adding a bit more coconut oil!

Anyway, so it did wake me up during the night thinking about that other 2/3 batch in the freezer.  That’s when I thought, well why not just mix them up again and add the egg? And as you do at 3am, mind whirring away, I thought why roll these into balls, just be lazy and bake it as a slice.  Then top it with some Chocolate Ganache to get a double chocolate hit.

So that’s just what I did and here it is.

But I also saved a little of the mix and pressed that into a mini tart base – well that’s the next post.  Sorry this has been a novel before the recipe but that’s how it works out some days, doesn’t it?

One last word, be sure to check Heather’s blog Cook it up Paleo, she is one supremo teen Paleo baker.
