They are crunchy squares with a yummy chocolate topping. They are easy to make and popular with kids to make and eat. Once made they won't stay around for long. There is a version of these that does not use chocolate but they are not as popular. I have reduced the sugar to 1/2 a cup, if you would like them sweeter use 1 cup of sugar. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 cup oats |
1 cup coconut |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
125 g butter or 125 g margarine |
2 tablespoons syrup |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup sifted icing sugar |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients for the crunchies, except for the baking soda.
2. Melt the butter and syrup together.
3. Add the baking soda and stir.
4. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Press into a medium sized greased baking pan, about 10 by 8 inches.Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture together and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 20 minutes at 350dgrees F.
7. Mix together all the ingredients for the icing
8. Microwave 1 or 2 minutes until mixture is smooth.
9. Pour the hot icing over the hot crunchies, tilt pan to cover the entire surface of the crunchy.
10. Cut into squares when cool.
