This is the ultimate coffee break snack – soft coconut filling underneath a rich chocolate and peanut butter topping, all sitting on a crunchy biscuit base.
A mixture of milk and dark chocolate stops the slice becoming too sweet – making it the perfect accompaniment to a tall caramel latte!
You can easily substitute the digestive biscuits for a gluten free alternative which will not alter the flavour.

2) Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
3) Melt together the chocolate and peanut butter in a bain-marie, stirring well to combine. Pour over the baked slice and allow to cool. Transfer to the fridge to set fully (around 2 hours).
4) Once set, cut into equal squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
