Fairy Bread Weet-Bix Slice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 Weet-Bix biscuits, crushed
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup sugar (white or brown)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 125g (1/2 cup) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup honey or golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1 1/2 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (to thin icing)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Hundreds and thousands (rainbow sprinkles)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, mix together the crushed Weet-Bix, coconut, flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the honey (or golden syrup) and vanilla extract.
3. Combine and Bake:
   • Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the lined baking tin.
   • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until firm to touch. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
4. Prepare the Icing:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and enough milk to create a smooth, spreadable consistency.
5. Decorate with Sprinkles:
   • Spread the icing evenly over the cooled base.
   • Immediately sprinkle generously with hundreds and thousands to create the fairy bread effect.
6. Chill and Slice:
   • Place the slice in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
   • Once the icing has set, cut into squares or slices and serve.

Tips:

• You can adjust the sweetness by using less sugar or honey in the base.
• For a twist, try adding some melted chocolate into the icing or drizzle over the top.
