We pretend this is a healthy slice in our house, as it has oats and uses brown sugar. It is a simple slice, a bit of melting and mixing going on. The flavour is not too sweet, which I do love.
My kids love it to, they think it is great. I added chocolate chips to the mix, I found it needed it. You can also use roughly chopped up chocolate blocks or chocolate melts, I just snap these into smaller pieces.
With regards to the topping I go two ways with that, sometimes I just sprinkle icing sugar on top, other times I add the chocolate topping.
So if you are looking for an sweet treat, that isn't too sweet, give this a try, it is something my family loves, hope yours does to.

Make the chocolate topping: Place the chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 20 seconds, stir. Cook for a further 20 seconds, stir, repeat this process until both the butter and chocolate has melted. (You could also do this in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water).
Spread the chocolate topping over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.
