Chocolate Rum and Coconut Sticks Recipe

Recipe : Chocolate Rum and Coconut Sticks

Ingredients :

4 tbsp golden syrup

30g reduced fat butter/margarine, softened

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp rum

1 tsp coconut essence

150g white plain flour

2 tbsp cocoa

50g dark chocolate bits

Method :

Cream the golden syrup, butter, brown sugar, rum and coconut essence until smooth. Stir in the cocoa and then the flour. Mix until well combine. Wrap the dough in plastic food wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200C and lightly spray 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil spray. Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured board. Divide the dough in half. Roll out to about 3mm thick and cut dough into 1.5 cm wide strips. Roll strips with your hands to form long sausage shapes.

Cut into 10cm long "sausages", flatten slightly and place on baking trays. Repeat process with the remaining dough until you have 48 sticks. Bake for 8 minutes and then allow to cool on trays.

Melt the chocolate in a small deep container, and when the chocolate sticks are cool dip the end of each one in the melted chocolate. Refrigerate to set the chocolate.
