Baking – Choc Coconut Slice

This is one of those recipes that just takes me back to childhood. My Mum made this for us all the time, and now she makes it for her grandchildren all the time. In fact, Fred was so confused why I was making it and not Grandma. He thought it was just wrong that we would have it when Grandma wasn’t sharing it with us!

It is so easy to make! Another fabulous one to freeze for lunch boxes!
