Weetabix

[Jamsi]

Anyone know any recipes using weetabix? I just got a catering box of weetabix 24 packs of 12. Talk about the weetabix week I think it's gonna be the weetabix year!

Oh yeah and guess what... they were FREE

Now if you'd asked me about any Kelloggs cereal I could have helped - I have an ancient recipe book!

Did you get that off the packet BK?  It sounds disgusting.

Brownies

In a bowl put
4 crushed weetabix
4oz caster sugar
4oz self raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
pkt chocolate drops (i use a 25p 100g tescos own milk chocolate chopped up)

mix this altogether

then take 4oz of melted marg and stir this into the mixture along with an egg

mix well and put in a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes at electric 180.

I put this mix into a square tin which measures 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. I suppose you could use anything a similar size it would just turn out a bit more or less deeper. I also line the tray with greaseproof paper to save any sticking. Once out the oven let it stand for about 5 minutes then turn out the tray and cut into squares.

 

Chocolate nests with tiny eggs

Ingredients:

3 breakfast wheat biscuits (ie: weetabix), crumbled

1 large bar chocolate (100g/3 and a half oz/half a cup)

Mini eggs 

muffin tin

Paper cake or muffin cases (10 to 20 depending how big you make the nests)

Place your paper cases in the tin. Melt the chocolate and stir into the crumbled weetabix. Put a spoonful of the mixture into each case and shape with the spoon into a rough 'nest' shape. How big or small you make these is entirely up to you! Leave to cool and set (in the fridge is fastest). Then place two or three mini eggs in each nest - simple!

Rubbish, every mum knows those only work with Shredded Wheat!
