Hi, I'm Lauren. I fed this modified recipe to my sugaraholic brother and Dad and they couldn't tell the difference from the original.

Choc Crunch Slice

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour

1 cup crushed cornflakes (I have found that Kellogg's cornflakes has the lowest sugar per 100g [7.9])

1 cup desicated coconut

1 Tblsp cocoa

½ cup dextrose

1 tsp vanilla essence

150g butter

1 dessert spoon rice syrup (you can get rice syrup from any health food store, a big supermarket may have it. Try your luck.)

Icing

1 cup dextrose

1 tsp butter

1 Tblsp milk

1 Tblsp cocoa

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180°C.

Grease and line a slice tin (approx. 25 x 15cm) with baking paper.

Mix flour, cornflakes, coconut, cocoa, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl.

Melt butter and rice syrup together in a small pan over heat or in the microwave and add to dry mixture. Mix until combined.

Press mixture into tin.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Cut slice while warm and let cool in tin.

To make icing, using a double boiler, heat sugar, milk and butter, till mixture is smooth and sugar has dissolved. Then add the cocoa and continue mixing with a whisk till all combined.

Spread over slice while warm and sprinkle with coconut. If the icing is too hard and thick to spread on slice, just reheat it on the stove till it is smooth and spreadable.
