1 cup plain flour,
2 tablespoons cocoa powder,

Add the beaten egg & vanilla essence & beat well.
Sift flour and cocoa together and add to the mixture plus coconut & cornflakes.
Stir with a metal spoon until all the ingredients are just combined.
Put level tablespoons of mixture on baking trays allowing room for spreading.
Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned, remove from oven but leave on tray to cool completely.

Topping;
Place the choc bits in a small heatproof bowl.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Sit the bowl of choc bits over the saucepan, making sure the base of the bowl does not sit in the water.
Stir until the choc has melted and is smooth then spread over the top of each biscuit thickly and allow to set.
One can if they wish to add a nut in the middle of choc, this is optional.
