Chocolate crunch

5oz SR flour
5oz P Flour
5oz sugar
5oz marg
1 beaten egg
1/2oz cocoa
vanilla essence

Melt the marg in a saucepan and add the vanilla. Remove from the heat.

Mix the sugar, cocoa and flour together in a large mixing bowl.

Make a well in the centre and add the melted marg and beat in the egg. Mixture should bind together.

Press into a greased baking tin. The mixture should be 1/2" thick

Brush the top with a little cold water and sprinkle with sugar. Place in a slow oven.

When cooked divide into portions straight away as the crunch hardens as it cools.

Oven gas 2, 300f and 150c

Variations

Coconut crunch - omit cocoa and add 1oz of desiccated coconut

Vanilla crunch - omit cocoa and add 2 drops of vanilla essance.

You don't happen to have the resipe for "Cornflake custard" do you? It was served cold and consisted of some kind of blancmange type thing (either chocolate or strawberry flavour) with a layer of "cornflakes" on top. I guess it was probably cornflakes coated in some kind of syrup.
