I love to make healthy and easy slices for a quick lunch, like my No-Bake Weetbix Slice, Healthy Lemon Slice, or Healthy Caramel Slice. They are quick to make, delicious, and very convenient on the go or for a lunchbox.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Dark Chocolate Chips – Choose high-quality plant-based dark chocolate chips. For a sweeter version, dairy-free milk chocolate chips can be used, or for a sugar-free option, use sugar-free chocolate chips. Coconut Oil – Use unrefined coconut oil for a subtle coconut flavor. Margarine or any neutral oil can be substituted. Rice Bubbles – Ensure they’re gluten-free if needed. Puffed quinoa or millet can be used for variation. Desiccated Coconut – Use unsweetened desiccated coconut. Shredded coconut can be used for a different texture. Vanilla Extract – Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.

Expert Tips
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler method for more control and to prevent burning. If using a microwave to melt the chocolate, do so in short 20-second bursts, stirring between each, to avoid overheating. For extra crunch, lightly toast the desiccated coconut before adding it to the mixture. Press the mixture firmly into the tin to ensure the slice holds together well when cut. For a marbled effect, swirl some melted dairy-free white chocolate through the mixture before setting. Cut the slice while it’s still slightly chilled for cleaner edges. For variation, add dried fruit like cranberries or chopped dried apricots to the mixture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
