Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius / 350 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
- Grease a slice tin (approx 26 x 16 cm) and line with baking paper, leaving excess on the sides to lift out slice once cooked.
- Crush weetbix well into a bowl.
- Add remaining dry ingredients to bowl and stir to combine.
- Add melted butter to dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Press mixture into slice tin with hands and even the top surface out using the back of a spoon.
- Cook for 20 minutes.
- Start preparing the icing a few minutes before the slice is ready to be removed from the oven. This slice is iced while hot from the oven.
Icing
- Place icing sugar/mixture and cocoa into a bowl.
- Add melted butter and 2 tablespoons of the boiling water to the icing sugar and stir to combine.
- If necessary, add enough of the remaining tablespoon of boiling water to ensure the icing is soft enough to spread.
- Spread the icing over the slice while still hot. Sprinkle with additional coconut if desired.
- Allow to cool completely before lifting the slice whole from the tin using the baking paper. Cut into 24 pieces with a sharp knife.
Notes
- Storing: Stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, Weetbix Slice should keep for up to one week.
- Freezing: You can freeze this slice for up to a few months if wrapped and placed in an airtight container – though I always say fresh is best.
- Nutrition: The nutrition information is an automatically generated estimate and is not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Variation idea: Use 100s & 1000s, chocolate sprinkles or crushed nuts instead of coconut to decorate the top of the slice.
- Tips:
- Make sure to break up any lumps of brown sugar when mixing the dry ingredients.
- Make sure the mixture is packed well into the slice tin, otherwise you'll end up with a slice that crumbles.
- When making the icing, if the icing sugar is lumpy, you'll need to sift it first. Otherwise, there's no need to sift it.
- For a nice smooth icing, don't bump the tray as the slice is cooling – the icing will easily squish and crinkle when it's still setting.
