Chocolate cranberry slice

Ingredients

½ cup	Water
1 cup	Dried cranberries (Main)
½ cup	Sugar
1 cup	Flour
½ cup	Desiccated coconut, lightly toasted
¼ cup	Cocoa powder (Main)
½ cup	Brown sugar, firmly packed
200 g	Butter, cubed
1	Egg
1 Tbsp	Flour
½ cup	Chocolate bits (Main)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 180 degC (160 degC fan bake). Line a 17 x 27cm slice tin with nonstick baking paper. Combine cranberries, water and half the measured sugar (¼ cup) in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes until cranberries have softened and the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
2. 2. Place flour, coconut, cocoa and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to sift. Add butter and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Reserve 1 cupful of this mixture. Press remaining mixture into the base of the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes.
3. 3. In a bowl, beat egg and remaining ¼ cup sugar until thick and pale. Fold in the 1 tablespoon flour, the cranberry mixture and the chocolate bits. Pour this mixture over the baked crust and top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out moist but clean. Cut slice into bars, squares or triangles.
