Weetbix Slice

[Cornish Cream]

Well the kids seem happy enough eating them! One of them even tried to convince me that they are OK to eat for breakfast seeing as they are weetbix...

Ive been making this recipe for years. It's a family favourite. The Thermomix makes it so much easier!

What size is a lamington tray, please?

[Frozzie]

Any large rectangular tray with straight edges will be fine caroline but generally they re 30 x 20 roughly... Some are 33 x 25.. But around that size

Hi Amanda.  I made this yesterday for my kids and they absolutely loved it. I am having the same disappearing problems that a couple of others mentioned. I made it with no alterations and it was so easy and yummy. Thanks for posting.

[CarolineW]

Thanks for the measurements frozzie.

I made these and they've been a hit. Dd1 gave them 5 out of 5 :-). The Oatibix don't seem to spoil the effect.

Thanks Amanda - another one on the list for at work snacks.  Of course the minute I put the container in the fridge that weird disappearing act will occur

When I made the mix I thought it was very dry, but decided not to mess with it. Both children loved them. DH and I were less enthusiastic. We both liked the flavour but found them a bit dry. Are they supposed to be dry, and it's just our personal thing, or could it be dryer than usual because of the oatibix?

If it isn't supposed to be very dry, can anyone advise me as to how to moisten it up more without destroying the recipe?

[Moo2]

Mine was dry too Caroline but the kids really love it. I do too once I got used to the texture. 😊

I think the oatbrits will make it a little drier Caroline. I make this a lot and it is  fairly dry though sometimes I look at it and it seems to be extra dry, I generally add about a tablespoon (20g) of milk and mix through 

[CarolineW]

Thanks. I'll try the extra milk Faffa.

Miss 9 woke up this morning and said she wanted to make a weetbix slice.
I said "go to mr google and search for a recipe"
She found yours Amanda
And off she went and made it herself........

Holy Moly this is so good!!!
There is only a little bit left.....Miss 9 keeps saying "stop eating it.  It's not finished, I still have to put the icing on"
It looks like she will be making this again tomorrow - hopefully with icing

Thank you Amanda for an easy delicious slice.

thanks for this recipe Amanda.  I am looking for things to make with GC next week.  I think I used to make this ages ago,  but it had marshmallow on the top.

[Amanda]

Glad everyone enjoyed it!
I still love it, as do my kids.

When I was making this again recently, I realised that my recipe is slightly different. Mine has 2 Tbsp Golden Syrup and 1 tsp vanilla added to the butter. I think it makes a difference.
I didn't have enough weetbix crumbs, so used a cereal that I had which had malted wheat flakes, apples, raspberries and a crunchy sort of thing added to it. I don't eat cereal, so I can't remember the name of it. It's sold in a natural coloured cardboard box.

A nice addition is peppermint icing coloured green.
