Ingredients
 

Slice

  • 60 g dark chocolate
  • 110 g butter
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 3 Weetbix
  • 100 g desiccated coconut
  • 110 g brown sugar
  • 75 g plain flour
  • 75 g self-raising flour

Chocolate Icing

  • 140 g icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut, for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Celsius fan-forced). Lightly grease and line with baking paper an 18cm by 28cm slice pan.
  • In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter together over very low heat, stirring frequently. When it's just melted, remove from heat and stir in the golden syrup.
  • Using your fingers, crush the Weetbix by breaking them up to a fairly fine consistency.
  • Stir together the coconut, brown sugar, weetbix and both flours together in a large bowl until well combined. Add in the chocolate mixture, stir to combine. Firmly press mixture into prepared pan using the back of a spoon or with a round glass. Take care to press it evenly into the pan, particularly into the corners. Bake slice for 15 minutes.
  • Make chocolate icing while slice is baking. Sift icing sugar and cocoa together into a medium bowl. Add butter and milk and stir until smooth. The icing should be quite thick at this stage; however, it will spread easily when placed on the hot slice.
  • Remove slice from oven and set aside for one minute before spreading the icing. Sprinkle the coconut on top.
  • Allow slice to cool to room temperature before cutting into pieces to serve. Store slice in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 1 week. Alternatively, freeze it for up to 3 months.

Notes

If the icing is too thick, add an extra  1/2 tablespoon milk.
