Sweet wheat treats

Today was our final day of dance competitions for 2010. YAY!!!
And what a day! They were running 2 hours behind schedule, so a long wait in the foyer, thankfully with an easy 'picnic style' dinner.

The children all danced exceptionally well, with places in 3rd and 1st with their troupes. We've come home a happy but tired lot, glad to have a 'normal' week scheduled ahead.

Here's a recipe I've not yet shared, made with Wheat Biscuits / Weetbix (cereal). These are very sweet, so one recipe can easily make 24 servings. Perfect with a hot coffee.


Sweet Wheat Treats

3 Weetbix
1 cup (85g) dessicated coconut
1/2 cup (120g) caster sugar
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa
150g butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla essence

Icing:
1 1/2 cups icing mixture
1 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp hot water

1. Heat oven to 180degC. Grease and line a 16x26cm tin.
2. Break up Weetbix and place in bowl with coconut and sugar. Sift over the flour and cocoa. Stir.
3. Add the vanilla essence to the melted butter. Pour this over the dry ingredients and stir. Spoon into tin. Bake for 15 mins.
4. Make icing: sift icing sugar and cocoa into a small bowl. Add hot water and mix. Ice the slice whilst still hot. Cut into 24 squares.
