Chocolate Coconut Slice

This is a quick and easy slice to make using ingredients you'd have in your pantry. I increase the ingredients by 1/2 to fit the size of my slice pan and it works great.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 24 small pieces

Ingredients

• 3  Weet-Bix (wholewheat breakfast biscuits)
• 85  g  desiccated coconut
• 120  g caster sugar

• 1  tablespoon  cocoa, extra
• 2  tablespoons hot water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Grease a 16x26cm baking pan and line with baking paper. Break up the wholewheat buscuits into a large mixing bowl with the coconut and sugar. Into the same bowl sift in the cocoa and self-raising flour and stir.
3. Melt the butter and pour of the dry ingredients, add vanilla essence and stir till well combined. (I usually add the essence to the melted butter first).
4. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and press down to level. Bake for 15 minutes or until cooked.
5. Icing: Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a small mixing bowl. Add the hot water and stir well. Ice slice while it is still warm.
6. Cut into squares to serve.
