Oh my giddy Aunt … husband and adult sons just LOVE this. Thankyou!! Lucky its so simple and quick. They have begged me to make batches to take to work.
This is a great recipe . I made it last week and it was a hit . Made a different version today from another site ( cause I couldn’t find this one ) and it is a bit disappointing . I’m printing this one out now for future reference.
I made this slice this morning and the smell was delicious it took me back to the school fete days! yummy.
if you change the SR flour to all plain flour it makes a more dense and fudge base. just saying its a different variation and very yummy. thanks for the recipe.
Just wondering if it would be ok to freeze??
Hi Anna, Absolutely!.:)
Hi. Where did I go wrong with the icing? It was extremely dry and almost impossible to spread, even with doubling the water.
After it gets dry and you’ve mixed in as much you can, add a tiny bit more water till it reaches the consistency you want
I make something almost identical that is my husband’s absolute favourite! He thinks it tastes better after ‘ageing’ for a day (his words not mine).
Haha i love it Claire! It is a very yummy slice x
I’m viewing your website on my iPad and when I click on the chocolate coconut slice recipe it’s shows the photo and comments but not the recipe.??? Please help, would love to make this.
Thank you! looking for a great receipe for this for ages.
I usually use milk rather than water for the icing. Makes it more creamier.
wow! these are great
wow! these are great
This recipe is soo good!
All I had to do was swap the flour to gluten free because I’m coeliac and it still worked and tasted awesome. Yesss!!
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it Monique and were able to adjust it to suit your dietary needs.
Could I add some oats to get a chewy texture? What would be the quantity?
Yummy you can add cornflakes too, extra crunch
ooh great suggestion, thanks for sharing!
