one of my favourites

I have been baking alot lately. Firstly to make sure there is always goodies for lunch boxes and after school but also to satisfy my cravings!! I cant seem to curb my hunger at the moment. Ive eaten dinner, had a tea and snuck a treat and Im still considering making some toast. The other morning I was lying in bed contemplating dinner and we hadn't even had breakfast yet!! Maybe I am having a boy....

One of my favourites to make for the family is this chocolate slice.

Its very easy and very delicious.

Base

125g butter

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup coconut

1/2 cup plain flour

1/3 cup self raising flour

1 tablespoon cocoa

2 tablespoons of apple puree (this is instead of egg)

Icing

1 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon cocoa

1 teaspoon soft butter

1 tablespoon milk

How to:

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees C

2. Sift flours and cocoa into a bowl. Add brown sugar and coconut.

3. Melt butter over low heat and then mix in apple puree.

4. Pour butter mixture into dry ingredients and mix well.

5. Place mixture into 28 x 18cm laminton tin (or close as!) that is lined with baking paper. Baake for 20 minutes or until just firm to touch.

6. While base is cooking make the icing - sift icing sugar and cocoa into bowl stir in butter and milk to make a thick paste

Spread with icing immediately after taking base out of oven, sprinkle with coconut or sprinkles and let stand to cool. Then cut into bars or squares.
