To make this classic slice, you will need:
- Weet-Bix - if you have a box of Weet-Bix in the cupboard, you're ready to make this slice! It's also the perfect way for using up all of the crumbs at the bottom of the box
- Butter - choose salted or unsalted butter
- Cocoa Powder - use unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
- Brown Sugar - light or dark brown sugar can be used. This gives the slice a delicious chewy texture.
- Desiccated Coconut - fine dry coconut
- Egg - use a large egg (approximately 60g)
- Icing Sugar - you can use either icing sugar mixture or pure icing sugar for this recipe. Icing sugar mixture sets softer than pure icing sugar. If you're planning to send our Thermomix Weet-Bix Slice to school in lunch boxes, I would recommend using pure icing sugar.

Hello. I am diary free, would using olive oil based 'butter' like Nuttlex work as replacement for butter?

I like this slice and thought I would get away with the coconut but DH tasted it immediately 🙁 Any ideas for substitutions for coconut?
Lucy says
You could try omitting it and adding an extra weet-bix?

I've just made the weetbix slice and it is very buttery. Should the recipe have any flour in it.
Thanks for your help. ?
