This is seriously the easiest slice you could ever come across. The kids tasted it at the neighbours, demanded a copy of the recipe, delivered said recipe to me and then demanded I make it. Right then! This is a chocolate-y, sweet treat that's perfect for the lunchbox or for after school. It freezes beautifully too.
School's back tomorrow and when I got home from work today I realised there was next to nothing in the cupboard and that I probably needed to whip something up. What to make? Aunty Lynette's Chocolate Slice to the rescue.
Lynette's Chocolate Slice

1 cup self raising flour
1 cup coconut
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg, beaten

Another recipe of yours 'bookmarked'....
I love the look of this recipe, especially when everything is already in the pantry. Just a question - does the icing need to have cocoa in it to make it chocolate icing?
Um... good pick up Jen. I'll go fix that right now LOL!
I am sure you are VERY popular after putting those treats in the lunchbox! Great work Mummy, they look delicious xxx
Thanks so much for dropping by Liss!
