Title: Cherry-ripe chocolate slice
 Categories: Australian
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
    500 g  Eating chocolate (Cadbury's
           -is the nicest)
      5 oz Copha
    1/2 lb Desiccated coconut
      1 cn (small) Nestle condensed
           -milk (Approx. 400g net, I
           -think)
      1 pk (100g) of cherries - fresh
           -cherries could be used
           Cochineal - red food
           -colouring
 
  This is based on a common Australian chocolate bar, and is really
  yummy, though sickening if overindulged in! Copha is vegetable
  shortening made from coconut oil. Enjoy!
  
  Procedure: Melt half the chocolate (using steam - a microwave will
  burn it!) and press into a slice tray that is layered with aluminium
  foil. Refrigerate this till set.
  
  Combine coconut, cherries, melted copha and condensed milk into a
  semi-solid sticky mess. Add drops of cochineal till the mixture is
  pinkish. Press this on top of the chocolate, pressing into the
  corners and flattening out using a cold spoon. Refrigerate till set.
  
  Melt the rest of the chocolate and cover the mixture, then refrigerate
  again till chocolate hard. Remove the slice, foil and all, from the
  tray. Remove the foil and cut into small squares. Remove all little
  foil bits or they'll zap your teeth!
  
  Keep refrigerated.
