If you want a dessert that delivers a satisfying crunch, then look no further than this recipe for Australian Chocolate Coconut Crunch. A simple base of flour, coconut, and cornflakes is laced with deep chocolate flavor for a crackling bite of chocolate delight.

An Australian slice refers to any sweet treat cut into a square or another geometric shape. This version is a textural variation of your average soft cookie. These slices are a wonderful break from the usual, with the addition of crunchy cornflakes and chewy coconut. 

To make the recipe, the butter is melted and then mixed with sugar, cocoa powder, and corn syrup. Additions of espresso powder, vanilla, and salt amplify the chocolaty flavor in the slice base.

The dry ingredients get folded into the batter. The textural additions of crushed cornflakes and coconut add structure to these slices.

Transfer the dough and press it firmly into the prepared pan.

Once the base is completely cooled off, top it off with melted chocolate.

These can be sliced into any which way you fancy! The triangle shape is a perfect alternative to the standard bar and cookie recipe, but a square is great for a big gathering of folks.  

Australian Chocolate Coconut Crunch is the perfect variation to the common desserts we bake up again and again. The cornflakes and coconut add a crunchy and chewy texture to a rich and deeply flavored chocolate treat.

These are quick to make and are a perfect addition to a holiday cookie platter or a simple treat to make for neighbors, family, and friends.
