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.

Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC bake / 160ºC fan bake. Grease an 18cm x 28cm slice tin and line with baking paper.

Base
Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in sugar, coconut and ground almonds. Add butter and egg and mix until well combined. Press evenly into prepared tin. Bake for 20 minutes.

Filling
Place icing sugar, boiling water and peppermint essence in a medium-large bowl. Stir until well combined, then pour immediately over the warm 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. Alternatively, microwave on medium-low in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Pour over peppermint layer and refrigerate for a further 30 minutes.
