Time for baking has been in short supply lately so I love recipes that can be made quickly and easily. This Caramel Coconut Slice is an old family favourite. It freezes well so is perfect to pop into lunchboxes for a morning tea treat.
This slice has a biscuit base and a coconut, caramel and chocolate filling. It is perfect on its own or with a dusting of icing sugar.
