Choc Chewy Coconut Slice

So what does one do with all that extra coconut fillings from kuih dadar? Well, we could stare at it all day or make coconut slices....yay!! So I surfed the net and found this recipe from Cadbury website. 

I modified the recipe a bit...oh oh.. you're gonna say...geez this cowboy will never learn, baking is about precision, accurate measurement but I am doomed to fail in baking and so why not a slight detour? Hehehe. So I added a little ...wait for it... hazelnut meal instead of just plain old all flour... get it? So, that it's extra nutty!!

Oh and guess what, we are NOT going to ice it with buttercream icing, we are gonna melt some real Cadbury cooking chocolate to layer the top. Am I awesome or what?
