The Weetbix and coconut give the chocolate slice the perfect texture. It’s soft but with a little bit of crunch, this depends on how long you cook it for. If you want a bit more flavour and texture you could add in some chopped nuts.
Pair this with the smooth, rich, velvety chocolate icing and you’ve got yourself a tasty slice for a sweet snack or an after dinner treat!
