    I love love love weetabix brownies, made 5 batches for fetes and craft shows over the weekend and they AL sold out with many people coming back for seconds!
    I dont have scales so use cups:
    1 cup of SR flour
    1/2 cup caster sugar
    2 tbsp cocoa powder
    100g bar of tescos milk cooking choc (39p) chopped into "chips"
    adding a dollop of marg ~ 100g = 2/5 small tub
    1 egg
    I have never had any problems of the mixture being dry etc.
    As I have made so many i have a big jar that i keep the igrediants mixed up in so when I want to mke them I just pout out the jar and add marg & egg.
    Would make a great gift for bdays etc!
    Sorry abit of a ramble!:o
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Never made these, but guess what I'm going to do tonight! I like weetabix and oatibix (only one in my family) but hope that yours turn out right LondonDiva and thanks for the recipe!

    I've made my weetabix brownies and they're really, really scrumptious. And this is from someone who doesn't - sorry didn't - like brownies. This recipe is going in my favourites file now! Thanks LondonDiva for letting me into the secret.:beer:

    1sttimer , can't take credit for it I'm afraid, it's been in the OS receipe library for about two or so years...

    I loathe weetabix & couldn't justify buying a pack to make it up before now. I'm setting aside tomorrow to make it & will feedback - BUT :eek:have made a couple of discoveries which in turn lead to more questions:

    *I don't have any cocoa powder: would Charbonnel & Walker drinking chocolate do just as well?

    *I don't have a pyrex dish or square baking tin - can I use my roasting tin to make a double quantity?

    Help

    Drinking chocolate is sweetened - I would reduce the sugar content. Not sure by how much though - let me see if I can drag something up.

    Your roasting tin should be fine!

    I can't find anything specific (someone else might), but I would try using an extra tablespoon on drinking chocolate and a tablespoon less of sugar. Ish! I'm sure you won't go too far wrong.
