250g dark cooking chocolate

2 cups coconut

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

few drops of almond or rum essence

100g chopped glace cherries

Melt chocolate in a bowl of hot water or in the microwave. Line a lamington tray with foil and spread chocolate evenly over the foil. Chill till set. Meanwhile in a food processor, mix together the remaining ingredients until well combined. Spread over the set chocolate, then bake in a preheated 190C oven until just browning, about 20 minutes.
