Lunch Box Treats
Now that we are all back in school down in the southern hemisphere I thought I would show you what I pack for 'play lunch' in my kids school lunch boxes.
I have found this slice to be the yummiest and the easiest to make and to pack. All the ingredients are generally a staple in your pantry.
So here goes.
Chocolate Fudge Slice
1 cup plain flour (all purpose)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup coconut (dessicated)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
185g butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sift flour into a bowl, add sugar, coconut and cocoa. Add melted butter and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Press mixture into a slice tin (7" x 9")
Bake in moderate oven (180 degrees C) about 25 - 30 minutes.
Top with chocolate icing (recipe below)
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 oz butter
1 1/2 tablespoons hot water
Mix altogether and pour onto hot slice. Smooth over.
Cool in tin.
Sorry, about the measurements, I know they have both metric and imperial. I don't know how to convert and I have written this out from somewhere, probably an old PWMU book of my mums.
I can guarantee you that they will be asking for more.
And just because I have seen so many pictures of little preppies starting out on the first day of school, I thought you might like to see my middle son on his first day of secondary college. Age 12 and a half!!

Mmm, thanks for the recipe, no eggs, no nuts- I actually think they may be allowed to eat it at school, perfect.
I can't believe how tall they grow- I agree, us preppie mums have posted lots of shots, thanks for showing us yours. High school is a bigger event I think. Not as much chance of nits, either!
Oh what a big boy!!, my little fellow started 3yo kinder today.. My little preppie wouldnt allow a photo so she will have to live with that empty spot in her album.. The slice sounds like a must try, I have a nut & egg ellergy in our house.. thanks for the recipe..
Do we have to put it in their lunchbox??? Thanks for the recipe -it looks delicious.Will they ever grow into their shoes?He looks huge and yet little.Odd but perfectly normal for a 12 and a half year old I guess.Did he love it?
Ooooh, yum! Those treats look delicious -- I hope I don't have to be going to school to make them LOL. Thanks for the recipe. Your "little boy" is getting awfully big -- he's too cute!

It was delicious as was the lovely lunch you gave me yesterday! I will definitely be whipping up these to go in the school lunch bag - and the cake tin for me! Your middle man looks all fresh and clean ready for his first big day -I can't believe you have boys that big - amazing!
