Hubby set off on a work thing on the weekend, and I wanted to send him off with some goodies for the road. So Saturday night I whipped up these chocolate fudge bars, which I know he’s enjoyed in the past. I actually used to make them a lot for school events when I was nannying, because I found we always had the ingredients in the house… and it’s too easy {and delicious}.
Sadly for Hubby, he forgot to take them with him… so they were left for Lacey and I to enjoy. He did enjoy a few before he left, and we wrapped some up for Gaga {grandma} to enjoy too.
Ingredients
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup coconut
1 tablespoon of cocoa
185g butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Method
Place dry ingredients in bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla. Mix.
Press into a small lined tray. Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
Once cool, ice with chocolate icing {1 cup icing sugar, 2tbs cocoa, 30g melted butter, 1 tbs hot water} and sprinkle with coconut.
Enjoy in moderation {if you can resist!}. xx
How easy! Might have to give these a go tomorrow afternoon with the kids I nanny xxx
mmm yum these look delish and so simple even I could try them!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. We'll be making these this afternoon after I pick up H from preschool.
Yummo these look great. I don't think I should make them cause I would scoff the lot!
how yummy do these look! on another note… how amazing is your food photography! i loved another post you did recently – the lemonade scones – the dof and the heart shape cut out of the dough and all the other little details… you really are awesome at taking photos of food and i know you are great cause i am just so terrible at it! good job tell xxx
Oooh! Yummo! Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂 Going to try these this afternoon!
Ohh yummy@ Thanks for sharing the recipe!
We made these exact choc fudge bars this morning … How Funny!! Now the only decision for me is whether I eat dinner or just eat these with a cup of tea … bit cheeky and not very healthy but oh so yummy!
they look yummy!
these look amazing!
you always have such great ideas. i was craving chocolate yesterday and was standing in the pantry looking at those exact ingredients, thinking surely i could make something chocolatey without having to go to the shop. thankyou!
Yummy i will be making these on the weekend thanks <3
Man, they are too easy and you're right, those ingredients are always in the pantry… darn it – trying to curb my chocolate addiction here!! 😉

Those look so good!
We have a surprise bday party tomorrow afternoon, might give these a go! 🙂 thanks!
SO not helping my 20 year diet!!! x
These look amazing! I can't wait to try making them with gluten-free flour 😀
We just made these for afternoon tea and they were delicious!
Oooh thanks for reminding us of this recipe! I remember it being a staple growing up! Echoing other commenters, I was looking in my cupboard to see what I could whip up (I was thinking chocolate lava cakes, but I only had cocoa, no actual chocolate) and these fit the bill perfectly! They are cooling on the bench now……
this sounds way too easy!
yum yum yum.
HAHAHA This is an old family recipe to me as my nan always (and still does) make these, although she does call her choc coconut slice.
However I have substituted the normal sugar or caster sugar for brown sugar. it tends to make the mix more soft and gooey in some cases but still an awesome recipe none the less
