Our boys seemed to have gone off cereal. Why? I’m not sure. That’s fine with me. The only problem I have is the huge box of weetbix sitting in the pantry. To help use some of them up, I baked this moist and delicious Chocolate Weet-Bix Slice.
The boys loved it, but hubby wasn’t so keen on it. Oh well. At least I know it will still get eaten.
It is quite a simple recipe and with only a few ingredients it turns out quite cheap as well.
You could also freeze it if you wanted to put it away and use in school lunch boxes for the following week.
