Chokito Chocolate Caramel Slice - Guide Recipe
Did you grow up with Chokito chocolate bars? I sure did. Caramel fudge encased in milk chocolate and rice krispies. Also similar to a 100 Grand bar except the caramel in a chokito is a firm fudge rather than a gooey caramel. Sounds like heaven right?
CRAZY BUT TRUE
Well , crazy but true , I didn’t like chokitos for a long time. I remember going to the Perth Royal Show each year and one of the showbags I would get always had mini chokitos and I would just toss them aside. I don’t remember ever trying them though. I think I just decided I didn’t like them.
