ingredients

2 cups cornflakes, crushed
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ cup self-raising flour, sifted
½ cup desiccated coconut
¼ cup chopped walnuts
100g butter, melted

Marshmallow:
¾ cup caster sugar
¾ cup water
1 tablespoons gelatine
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
Pink food colouring
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut for sprinkling

instructions

step 1

Combine crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, sifted self-raising flour, coconut and walnuts. Add melted butter and mix well.

step 2

Press the mixture into a greased and baking paper lined 18cm x 28cm slice pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 160°C for 25-30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

step 3

Place caster sugar, water and gelatine into a saucepan and cook on a low heat until the sugar and gelatine are dissolved, stirring continually (do not boil).

step 4

Cool mixture; stir in vanilla essence and 2-3 drops pink food colouring. Using an electric mixer, whip mixture until fluffy and almost set.

step 5

Pour marshmallow over slice (it sets quickly, so work quickly) and sprinkle with extra coconut. When set, cut into squares or fingers and store in an airtight container in a cool place.
