This is one of those super nostalgic recipes for me. Growing up this was always in my school lunch boxes & though there are a lot of similar slice recipes out there I've never found a recipe that has the same crunch that this slice has. It's super simple to make & always seems to be a big hit. And I thankfully nearly always have all the ingredients on hand to whip this up if I need a snack in a hurry.

1 Cup of Self raising flour
1 Cup of Desiccated Coconut

1. Preheat oven to 190C.
2. Grease & line the bottom and sides of a 20cm by 30cm slice tray with baking paper.
2. In a large bowl add the Self Raising Flour, Coconut, Sugar & Cocoa. Mix well with a whisk to break up any lumps.
3. Add the melted butter & stir to combine.
