Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 18-20 slices

Ingredients
¾ cup of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa
¾ cup of desiccated coconut
1 cup of self raising flour
140 grams butter
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

For marshmallow
2 cups of caster sugar
1 ¼ cups of water
1 tablespoon of gelatine powder
Pink food colouring, optional

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees (fan forced).

Mix dry ingredients together.

Melt butter and mix into dry ingredients. Line a slice pan with baking paper. Make sure paper extends up over the sides of tray.

Press firmly into slice tray, using the back of spoon to level.

Bake for 18-20minutes. Leave in slice pan to cool.

While slice is cooling, prepare marshmallow. Place sugar and ¾ cup of water into a non stick pan. Bring to boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Sugar will completely dissolve.

Stir gelatine powder into remaining ½ cup of water. Warning – this will smell terrible.

Combine sugar and gelatine mix and whip until mixture becomes light and fluffy. Will take around 10-12 minutes. Add some food colouring if you like.
