Using up Weetabix

beedeedee

Not sure if this is really the right thread - but Tesco have a special offer on Weetabix this week - two of the packs of 24 for £2.......

I have a whole box of Weetabix and nobody will eat it. I only bought it cause DS loves choc weetabix minis and it was cheaper to buy the banded pack with the Weetabix!

I really don't want to throw it out, has anyone any suggestions as to what I can do with it?

mix it with choc and make little weetabix cakes the same way you would make rice cripies cakes.

Wow

thanks guys. i can't beleive how quickly you replied. Yeah I'm sure they will get eaten if mixed with chocolate and I suppose the weetabix adds to the nutritional value of the choc, so a win win situation.

the weetabix cake sounds good!

Cheers

Theres a recipe on here somewhere for weetabix brownies - we love them! No good at posting links though sorry but if you use search box it should come up!

Couldn't get the link to work, so I've just copied and pasted.
I found this post and it looked so good, I wanted to put it in the weekly e-mail. As it was in the middle of a thread I've cut and pasted it into its own one. Yet let me say it belongs to jaxxy00 and all the credit is hers (his?).

How to make Weetabix Brownies

Im not sure how they are normally made but my recipe comes from a lady who was doing the refreshments at a community centre jumble sale me and my sister went to one year. We had a cuppa and one of the brownies and they were really yummy so we asked were they got them from and the lady said shed made them and gave us the recipe. I wrote it on a scrappy bit of paper that i still have and use now.

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.

Enjoy!!! if you get chance before everyone else takes them.

The Brownies sound like a good idea but unfortunately I can't seem to find it on the search and I can't get Trying's link to work!?!
