Classic Weet-Bix chocolate slice

There’s nothing like a nostalgic recipe from your childhood to get your tastebuds working and this one is an absolute Aussie classic! Weet-Bix are a common breakfast staple for many Aussies, but mums and grandmas around the country have been converting them into this delicious and budget-friendly slice for years. 

This recipe is a great way to use up stale Weet-Bix, although fresh is fine, too. Just like the original recipe, this version uses cocoa powder, crunchy Weet-Bix, brown sugar and desiccated coconut, with a layer of milk chocolate poured over the top to finish. Whip up a batch as a treat for your grandkids or enjoy them yourself for afternoon tea!
