If you’ve ever spent time in Australia, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a chocolate slice just like this one. The Chocolate Slice is a classic there, often found at school lunches, bakery, and home kitchens. It’s the kind of simple bar dessert that generations have grown up with. The base is rich and chocolatey with just a hint of coconut, and it comes together quickly with pantry staples you probably already have on hand.
