Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Weetbix
- 1 cup Plain flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Golden syrup
- 150 grams Dark chocolate, melted
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm x 30cm (8in x 12in) rectangular slice pan with baking paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal.
Crumble the Weetbix into a large mixing bowl. Add the plain flour, brown sugar, desiccated coconut, and cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the golden syrup until well combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles a sticky, crumbly dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared slice pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth and compact the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the slice is firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, spread the melted dark chocolate evenly over the top of the slice using an offset spatula. If desired, sprinkle with sprinkles for decoration.
Place the slice in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
Once the chocolate is firm, use the overhanging baking paper to lift the slice out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or rectangles and serve.
