Ingredients

3-5/8 ounces, weight Butter
1-1/2 cup Cornflakes
1 cup Desiccated Coconut
1 cup Plain Flour
1/2 cups Sugar
4 Tablespoons Cocoa, Divided
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 pinch Salt
1-1/2 cup Icing (powdered) Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
1 teaspoon Peppermint Essence
Milk, As Needed For Icing Consistency
Sprinkles, Chopped Nuts, Or Additional Desiccated Coconut, For Garnish

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (around 350°F).
2

Melt the butter.
3

Mix together the cornflakes, coconut, flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Pour the melted butter over, and use your hands to mix well until the mixture is crumbly.
4

Press into a well-greased baking tray (I use one that measures 26x16cm at the bottom), and bake for 20 minutes.
5

Mix the icing sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa together well, being sure to remove any lumps. Add the oil and peppermint essence and mix until it resembles sand. Add milk gradually until you have a spreadable consistency. Spread it on top of the slice while still warm, and top with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or more desiccated coconut.
6

Slice when cold.
