OMG Helen, all these yummy recipes that remind me of my childhood back on the Moutere farm and Mums weekly baking!!
Hi Vonny, I loved coming home from school on bake day to tins full of baking but with 4 kids in the house nothing lasted very long at all. :)
Hey Helen. what can we use if we don’t have weetbix?
You could use cornflakes, have you got any?
aww, thanks for replying. and yeas I have.
Hey Helen. Also I forgot to ask that what can I do for baking it because I don’t have a baking oven yet, I have a normal microwave, so how much time should I put it in that for?
I am not proficient in microwave baking but suggest cooking it on high for about 4 minutes and then checking. obviously in a microwave slice pan. Let us know how you get on.
ok. thanks.
I did make this and it was ok-ish good like not too bad and not too good either you know. I would not suggest it to do it my way though, lol.
My chocolate weetbix slice crumbled when I took it out of the tin. What did I do wrong?
You must have been too rough with it. I didn’t have that problem with mine.
Hmm, crumbling would suggest not enough butter or over cooking it and it became too brittle. It shouldn’t crumble.
I have Weeties but no Weetbix. How many cups is 3 crushed Weetbix?
Hi Karey, 3 crushed weetbix is loosely 2/3 cup.
Thanks :-)
This is my new email address thank you Lois Wilson.
THIS WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much does this recepie make
I’ve been making these choclate weetbix slices for years they are healthy as i didnt know some one else had the same recipe :)
I make this with margarine, my son has dairy and egg allergies and this is perfect treat for the lunchbox
I made this the other day and iced with a layer of peppermint and then chocolate icing, YUMMMmmmm. It is really good!
weetbix biscuits
Thanks it was very yummy!
I would like to make this slice but I would be interested to know if I could use carob instead of the chocolate as my brother doe not eat anything with cocoa. I do have some carob chips at home. Let me know someone.
hey what of you double the mixture how long will it take to cook
i’m cooking one now and have doubled it about half hr to cook
This slice is really yummy, my husband has especially enjoyed it!
This is a great recipe that will go towards one of the best recipes of all time. A must to have if your a mum,aunty, nan etc who is always cooking for the whanau and need a quick n easy sweet that will feed everyone! double the recipe makes a perfect size for large whanau. A++
This Recipe is delicious! perfectly moist. I changed the recipe slightly, i didn’t have enough cocoa powder for the icing so i just drizzled chocolate over the top instead!
YUM :)
I use wholemeal flour for extra fibre and the kids don’t notice it, I ice it with a thick runny chocolate icing as soon as it is out of the oven, mark the pieces and once it cools I cut the pieces which is really easy. My mum made this all the time and called it “slam up” as she said it was great you slam all the ingredients together then slam in the oven, slam on icing and its done
My kids dont like to use the bottom of the cereal packets so I empty all of them into one container and whenever I make a slice or biscuits that call for a cereal to be used I just dip into my never ending supply of ‘crumbs’.
My mum and aunt use to make this all the time was easy and evil hence I deleted the recipe, however since having children myself thought it would be a great treat for them to enjoy!!!So cheers its as scrummy as ever!!
my sister made this and they are delouse
Just made this, waiting for icing to set.
It reminds me of one i usually make in the microwave, but without weetbix.
:)
what did you add more or less of instead of weetbix?
My mum used to make this all the time, but we called it Sydney Special. It’s delicious … and since leaving home I have managed to make it quite healthy. Only 60g of butter these days! Big win.
Have made this yummy slice many times. My kids used to love it soooo much. I got this recipe from a very old electric frying pan book many years ago. But since our move to the UK 6 years ago have not bothered to make it again.. Kids all move out now and want this slice recipe for themselves, but could not find it. Thank you so much!!!! They are going to love making it themselves.
You can also replace the 3/4 cup sugar with 4 tablespoons of brown sugar and only use 150 grams of butter.
And I forgot to say, I also add half a cup of coconut to bulk it up a bit.
Feeling like something nice one day and this recipe popped in to my mind and I had looked for ages to find this recipe.
With raising 6 children triple batches of this was made, with no crumbs left.
It is a lovely yummy recipe.
I am going to try this recipies out let you know how it goes.
I’d like to make what we used to call chocolate crackles but would like an up to date hopefully healthier recipe. They were made with Ricies or Cornflakes, but used that hard vegetable fat. Do you have such a recipe, please ?
I make them worth coconut oil instead of copha and cacao instead of coco. So good. The oil sets well too
Ahh good idea.
reali nice but recipe should explain beta!:)xx
I’ve made this heaps now and it ALWAYS goes down a treat…it’s SO easy and fast too, that’s the best part (apart from the yummy taste)
cheers
Ana
I bake the above recipe, before icing I put a layer of Peppermint icing when set ice with Chocolate icing, & call it Peppermint slice
i think it is a yummy idea to add thhings like syrup or chocolate chips in to the mixture make it more creative.
very yummy kids loved it.
This is absolutely delicious – everyone loves it and it’s so more-ish you need to double the batch!
This slice or variations has always been a favourite in our house.Whe kids were smaller I used to put a thin layer of peppermint icing coloured green on then choc icing. Was always known as “Toothpaste” cake!
great recipe thanks
