Chocolate Weet-Bix Slice

One of my favourite slice recipe as a kid was what my Grandma called Kabs. It's really a chocolate slice made with Weet-bix/VitaBrits/whole wheat breakfast cereal brick thingys. I made some for the school tuck shop tonight so of course it made sense to double the quantity and make some for home as well. Mr 10 LOVES this slice.

Chocolate Slice (with Weet-Bix/VitaBrits)

3 Weet-Bix or similar, crushed

(What I do is keep all the crumbly and flaked bits from the bottom of the packet when it's finished rather than tossing them out.)

1 cup coconut

1 cup self-raising flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tblsp cocoa

1 tsp vanilla

150 g butter

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Melt the butter and add in the vanilla. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix it together.

Press the mixture into a greased and lined slice tray. Bake at 180 deg C for about 15 minutes or until browned.

If you want to ice the slice:

2 cups icing sugar

1 tblsp cocoa

2-3 tblsp hot water

Sift the icing sugar and cocoa. Mix in the water. Ice the slice and cut it while it is still hot. Otherwise it will crumble when you try to cut it.

You can sprinkle coconut, 100's and 1000's or your favourite sprinkles on top of the slice.

The slice is perfect to savour with the cuppa of your choice. ♥
