An easy homemade Chocolate Rough Slice recipe that is nut-free, and perfect for popping in your children’s school lunch boxes.
I love anything chocolate and coconut, which is why I can’t get enough of this Chocolate Rough Slice! This recipe seems to effortlessly bring both delicious ingredients together into one very yummy treat, and the best bit about these nut-free goodies, is their ability to be frozen.
The best bit about these nut-free goodies – apart from the fact they’re delicious and only take 20 minutes to prep – is that they freeze really well, making them a great option for a kids’ school lunchboxes (as an occasional treat) or an afternoon treat with a cuppa.
Simply put into the freezer the day you bake them (this will lock in the freshness), and then pull one out of the freezer on a school morning and pop into your child’s lunch box. It’ll be perfectly defrosted for morning tea time.
This slice has a nice soft base that’s not too crunchy, and the topping is delicious! You can bake this in a slice tin if you’d like them a little thinner and crunchier, or use a loaf tin (like me) to make them softer and thicker.
TIP: To easily spread the topping, put a spoon into boiling water and then use to spread.

Mr Smaggle would die for these! Coconut fiend. I might make them for him this weekend, thanks for the recipe!
Hubby is going to love them, will surely make them soon.
Coconut rough was always my favourite! This sounds delicious
OMG so yummy!!
What is icing sugar? confectionary? What about caster sugar?
Made this yesterday but was really disappointed that the topping didn’t set. Kids still liked it but was very messy. Anyone got ideas on how to improve it ?
I didnt have any condensed milk si substituted with a chocolate nut spread and melted in microwave till same consistency as condensed milk just had to press it in to the trat while base still hot worked well. You could try peanut paste too yummy
Great alternative Carole. Sounds fantastic
The topping hasn’t set on mine either, I don’t know what I have done wrong?
How strange Pamela, I haven’t had this happen to me 🙁 Perhaps try refrigerating the slice and see if that helps it set? It certainly won’t hurt it. Good luck! Kat 🙂
