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
