The beauty of this slice is EVERYONE loves it AND you can pretty much use any type of cereal (cornflakes, rice bubbles, muesli, cocoa pops or even oats) or even Weetbix! 

Makes 20-24 squares 
50g rice bubbles or cornflakes (about 1 ½ cups) or 3 crushed Weetbix
1 cup coconut
1 cup plain flour (or ¾ cup GF if making GF)
3/4 (150g) cup sugar
2-3 heaped tablespoons cocoa or milo
1 teaspoon baking powder
180g butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

CHOCOLATE ICING 
1 ½ cups icing sugar
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon soft butter
Boiling water, added one teaspoon at a time
Preheat oven to 180 C. Line a baking tin (20x30cm approx.) with baking paper.
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients until well mixed. Crush Weetbix or cornflakes if using as you go if using. Pour in melted butter and vanilla and stir until fully combined. It takes quite a bit of mixing until you have no pockets of flour left.
Tumble into the prepared tin and press until firm and smooth. Bake for 20-25 minutes and remove from the oven, set aside to cool
Make the icing: Beat all ingredients together adding water a teaspoon at a time and mixing until you have a smooth icing that can be drizzled – not too thick, not too thin.
When slice is almost cooled, spread over icing and spread to cover.
Allow to set overnight or in fridge.
Slice and serve or store in an airtight container.
