recipe, there use to be a bakery on Stanmore Road in Christchurch way back in the 80s that sold the best chocolate slice I've ever had, they use to sell.out real quick, was really thick and moist but firm, had green like nuts in it, with a real distintive nice taste that I believe made the slice, it was soooooo good so tasty..
I've searched Google but nothing resembles it but never know someone on here may know or has the recipe, one in a million chance but no harm in trying and having a bit of hope :)

The nuts will have been pistachio. Try looking for pistachio chocolate slice.

As a matter of interest, was the slice cooked or was it a 'press into the tin, chill and slice' type slice?

Sorry I'm really not sure, I remember the slice being very thick, moist but not spongy and not crumbly, had a very unique flavor and texture not like a cake or the average slice, hard to explain but was so addictively yummy..

Yep.i have but none look anything close to it though I should be trying them out first, I've been searching for a good few years now :(
They would go like hot cakes if any bakery or cafe made them, I'm annoyed at myself for never asking when I had a chance all those years ago ugh

It sounds like one of those slices that bakeries used to make to use up stale biscuits and cakes. They'd crumbled it all up, add some nuts, melted chocolate, cocoa, or whatever and mix altogether with sweetened condensed milk, chill and slice.

If I remember correctly, that particular slice was sold under the name of "Fudge Slice".

Your bakery sounds like they had taken it one step further and made something original and delicious from the basic recipe.

I was just thinking the same thing - in the uk it was called Russian slice for some reason and sometimes had pastry top and bottom
