How to make chocolate Weetbix slice:
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20x30cm slice tin with baking paper, ensuring there's an overhang for easy removal.
-
Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed weetbix, plain flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Add the wet ingredients:
- Pour the melted butter and golden syrup into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and can be pressed together.
-
Press into the tin:
- Spread the mixture into the prepared slice tin, pressing it down firmly to create an even base.
-
Bake the slice:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the slice is firm and the edges are slightly golden. Allow the slice to cool completely in the tin.
-
Make the chocolate topping:
- Melt the Swisspip Dark or Milk Chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave (in 30-second bursts, stirring in between) or over a saucepan of simmering water. For a glossy finish, stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
-
Top the slice:
- Once the slice has cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top and spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
Set and slice:
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, use the baking paper overhang to lift the slice out of the tin. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars.
-
Serve and enjoy:
- Your easy chocolate Weetbix Slice is ready to enjoy! Perfect for serving with a cup of tea or as a quick afternoon snack.
