I based this recipe on one I found on the very lovely blog Life In The Country. I have just completed a Blog Boost on this blog and while spending time looking at the blog, I was drawn very quickly to “A Farmer’s Wife’s” recipes. As you may expect there is very much a country flavour to her recipes, you can see them all here Country Recipes. I haven’t cooked a stew in years so think I will give her a Winter Stew ago next!
NB: I made an error when typing up the Beef Goulash recipe last week and it should have said 2 cups of flour, not 4 tsps! Sorry about that.
Easy Chocolate Slice Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sel raising flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 125g butter
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup 100′s and 1000s
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- In a medium size bowl mix flour, sugar, cocoa and coconut.
- Melt butter ( I melted the butter in a microwave save dish for 45 seconds.)
- Lightly beat the egg.
- Add melted butter and egg and mix with a wooden spoon.
- Press into a lined baking tray. I didn’t have a small tray so just used a portion of a larger tray I had. It ended up being about 25cm x 20cm.
- Sprinkle with 100s and 1000s.
- Bake for about 20 – 25 minutes. The slice is a bit like biscuits – it hardens up as it cools.
- Allow the chocolate slice to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
- Cut into slices and enjoy!

How funny. When I saw the title of this blog post, Nic, immediately thought of Farmers Wife’s recipe – she sent it through to me for a cake stall suggestion recipe a month or two back, and I have found myself making it time and time again – it is such an easy one for lunchboxes and afternoon teas!
These are so tasty – I made them with the girls yesterday and they slice up just nicely for lunch box treats. Thank you
I really appreciate that you take the time to come back and let me know how you go with the recipes – thanks so much. It is very helpful to other readers of the blog too.
Being first day of the school holidays in Queensland the kids were asking to cook. How easy, and great it can mixed by hand – my three boys were sitting on the kitchen floor with the big plastic bowl and a wooden spoon each. We’ve got a batch in the oven now for morning tea- thanks.
I love easy! Enjoy your school hols, we start next week.
So glad it worked well for you and I love the 100s and 1000s idea!
Take care.
I’ve just put ours in the oven – looks like it will taste very nice
Thank you.

As soon as i read this post i knew i wanted to make this for my daughter’s birthday party on the weekend. It was such a hit – so easy to make and so yummy. One of my nephews kept asking me to put out more and took some home with him. I didn’t have a good easy chocolate slice recipe before now but i think this is definitely my new “go to”.
Thanx Nicole.
