Caramel Slice

Has anyone used normal chocolate icing (cocoa+icing sugar+water) instead of the normal melted chocolate when making caramel slice! Does it work okay!

Use cocoa, icing sugar and hot water all the time, (very rarely use melted chocolate unless it is for a special occasion cake).It works as good as gold as a great icing of slices, biscuits.

Even better.unlike chocolate it doesn't break into slivers which fall into unseen places in the folds of your clothes or chairs and melt there ;)

Meant to say I sometimesalso add 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter just for a slightly softer icing.
