What You'll Learn
Line the tray with cling film and butter
To make honeymoon slice, you'll need to start by lining a tray with cling film. This will serve as the base of your slice. Butter the tray first—this is a crucial step as it will help the cling film stick to the tray and ensure that your honeymoon slice doesn't stick to the tray. Make sure to spread the butter evenly across the tray to create a consistent layer. Once you've buttered the tray, carefully lay the cling film over it, gently pressing it down so it adheres to the butter. Smooth out any air bubbles or creases in the cling film to create a flat, even surface.
When selecting a tray, opt for one that is flat and rectangular in shape. The size of the tray can vary depending on the desired thickness of your honeymoon slice. A larger tray will yield a thinner slice, while a smaller tray will result in a thicker treat. Choose a tray with a depth of at least 1-2 centimetres to allow for the layers of your slice.
As for the cling film, choose a good quality, food-grade variety to ensure that it doesn't tear easily and can withstand the weight of the ingredients. Cut a piece of cling film that is slightly larger than the tray, allowing for some overhang on the sides. This excess will help you lift the finished slice out of the tray once it's set.
After lining the tray with buttered cling film, the next step in making honeymoon slice is to create the first layer by melting chocolate and spreading it evenly over the base of the tray. The chocolate serves as a delicious foundation for the subsequent layers. It's important to let this chocolate base set before adding the next layer, so place the tray in a cool place or refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.

Melt the first bar of chocolate and spread it
To make honeymoon slice, you'll need to start by lining a tray with cling film. Butter the tray first to make the cling film stick. Next, melt the first bar of chocolate. You can do this by breaking the chocolate into small, even pieces and placing them in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water, as this could cause the chocolate to burn. Stir the chocolate occasionally as it melts, and once it has reached a smooth, glossy consistency, it's ready to use. Quickly spread the melted chocolate over the base of the prepared tray in an even layer. Leave it to set at room temperature; this will take about 30 minutes.

Mix coconut, icing sugar, condensed milk, and caramel
To make honeymoon slice, you'll need to mix coconut, icing sugar, condensed milk, and caramel. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving the perfect mixture:
First, prepare your ingredients. You'll need a large bowl, a pot, and a tray. For the mixture itself, gather desiccated coconut, icing sugar, condensed milk, and caramel. The exact quantities will depend on your taste preferences and the number of servings you wish to make. A good rule of thumb is to use equal parts coconut and icing sugar, with enough condensed milk to bind the mixture together. As for the caramel, you can make your own by boiling sugar and water together, or use store-bought caramel sauce.
In your large bowl, combine the coconut, icing sugar, and condensed milk. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are fully incorporated and you have a cohesive mixture. You can use a spoon or spatula for this step, but clean hands can also be very effective for mixing! Adjust the quantities as needed to ensure your mixture holds together.
Now, it's time to add the caramel. If you're making your own caramel, combine sugar and water in a pot and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent burning and boil it for several minutes until it reaches the desired colour and consistency. You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour if you like. Once your caramel is ready, slowly incorporate it into the coconut mixture.
At this stage, you should have a sticky and sweet blend of coconut, icing sugar, condensed milk, and caramel. It's now ready to be spread over the chocolate base of your honeymoon slice. Remember to work quickly as the warm caramel will make the mixture easier to spread. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly distribute the mixture, creating a uniform layer.
Finally, place your tray in the refrigerator to allow the mixture to cool and set. This will help the flavours meld together and give your honeymoon slice a delightful, chewy texture. Once it has set, you can cut it into small squares, as this treat is extremely sweet and rich. Enjoy your homemade honeymoon slice!

Sprinkle rice crispies on top
To sprinkle rice crispies on top of your honeymoon slice, you must first prepare the base. Start by lining a tray with cling film, buttering the tray first to make the cling film stick. Then, melt one bar of chocolate and spread it over the base of the tray. Leave it to set. In a large bowl, mix coconut, icing sugar, and a large tin of condensed milk. Spread this mixture over the set chocolate.
Now, it's time to make the caramel. Put all the ingredients in a pot, bring it to a gentle boil, and stir. Pour this caramel over the coconut mixture. At this stage, you can sprinkle the rice crispies on top. Leave the slice to cool. Finally, melt the remaining chocolate and spread it over the top. Once it's cooled down, cut the slice into small squares—and enjoy!

Melt the remaining chocolate and spread it
To melt the remaining chocolate, you can use a double boiler on the stove or melt it in the microwave. If using a double boiler, fill the bottom pot with a few inches of water and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl. Turn the heat to medium and allow the water to simmer. Chop the remaining chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in the bowl. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it is completely melted. If you are using the microwave, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in short bursts, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is melted.
Once the chocolate is melted, it's time to spread it over the slice. First, make sure the coconut layer is firm and set. Then, pour the melted chocolate over the top. Use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate, covering the entire surface. Make sure the chocolate layer is even and not too thick or too thin. If you like, you can sprinkle some additional toppings on the chocolate while it is still wet. Chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or sea salt would be delicious options.
After you have spread the chocolate, it is important to let the slice chill in the refrigerator. This will allow the chocolate to set completely. Place the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If you are in a hurry, you can put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Just make sure it doesn't freeze completely!
Once the chocolate has set, it's time to cut the slice into pieces. Lift the set slice out of the tray using the cling film. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares or rectangles. Remember, honeymoon slice is very sweet, so the pieces don't need to be too big. Enjoy your homemade treat!
