Change the peppermint essence for orange essence to keep this recipe fresh and appealing to different tastes. This is a great lunchbox treat as it doesn't need to be refrigerated - just make sure it's kept out of the heat or sunlight to ensure peppermint filling and chocolate topping don't melt.

Loved this recipe, turned out perfectly and was gone too quick!
Preheat oven to 180ºC conventional (160ºC fan forced). Grease and line base of a 28cm x 18cm slice tin, or similar sized tray.
Base: Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa into a bowl and add ground almonds, coconut, caster sugar, butter and egg. Mix until combined. Press into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Filling: Combine icing sugar, boiling water and peppermint essence. Stir until well combined and pour immediately over base. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
Topping: Combine chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Pour over peppermint layer and refrigerate for a further 30 minutes. Cut into even slices.
