SOUTH AFRICAN CHOCOLATE CRUNCHIES
They are crunchy squares with a yummy chocolate topping. They are easy to make and popular with kids to make and eat. Once made they won't stay around for long. There is a version of these that does not use chocolate but they are not as popular. I have reduced the sugar to 1/2 a cup, if you would like them sweeter use 1 cup of sugar.

SOUTH AFRICAN CRUNCHIES

Steps:
- In the microwave, melt butter. When melted, stir in honey and set aside. Thoroughly mix together brown sugar, flour and shredded coconut. Then add oatmeal. Stir baking soda into butter mixture, mix well and then add to dry ingredients. Mix well until mixture crumbly. Spray a baking sheet (one with sides about 16 x 11) with cooking spray. Press the mixture into the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 320 degrees. Remove from oven and gently "cut" the crunchies into squares. Return the pan to oven for a further 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before breaking apart crunchies.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the crunchies will taste. This is especially important for the butter and cream, which should be cold when you start baking.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the crunchies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the crunchies at a high temperature: This will help them to rise quickly and get a crispy exterior.
- Watch the crunchies carefully while they are baking: They can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on them.
