📋 Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Chia seeds – do not substitute these for another seed.
- Weet-bix – is also known as Weetabix in the UK. To make gluten-free, use gluten-free Weet-bix. For a US substitute, try using Shredded Wheat or Unsweetened Weeties.
- Almond butter – can try substituting with another nut butter such as peanut or cashew butter.
- Honey – use runny honey, not solid or emulsified raw honey. I have not tested this recipe using maple syrup. The sticky consistency of honey helps to stick the base together.
- White chocolate chips – you may substitute this with dark or milk chocolate chips using the same quantity.
- Coconut oil – is used to thin out the consistency of the white chocolate chips. You can try substituting it with another neutral-flavored vegetable oil.
🥣 Step By Step Instructions (with photos)
There is a full and detailed recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step one: Pour water into a small jug or bowl. Add the chia seeds, mix with a spoon and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
Step two: In a large mixing bowl, crush up each Weetbix using your hands.
Step three: Add almond butter, honey and the soaked chia seeds.
Step four: Mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon until the Weetbix is coated in the wet ingredients and the mixture sticks together.
Step five: Press the mixture into the lined tin and press it in firmly to create a sturdy base. Set aside.
Step six: Pour melted white chocolate over the base and spread it out in an even layer with a spoon or spatula. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the base is firm and the chocolate is solid.
Step eight: To cut, leave the slice at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate has softened slightly. Take a sharp knife and cut it into squares.
💭 Expert Tips
- Mix the Weetbix mixture with your hands: instead of a wooden spoon, it’s easier to mix the base with your hands since the almond butter is quite thick.
- Firmly press the Weetbix base into the tin: make sure to pack the base mixture in firmly to ensure a solid and sturdy slice.
- Use good-quality white chocolate chips: for the topping to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
- If the white chocolate is too thick: add more coconut oil to thin it out until you can spread it.
- Refrigerate the slice: long enough so the base becomes firm and it’s easy to cut into squares.
- Slice it with a warm knife: Hold your knife under hot running water from the tap for a few seconds, wipe it dry then cut your slice. A warm knife is easier to cut through solid chocolate on top.

This is one of my sons favourites. We make it together & he eats so much of the mixture before I can even get it into the pan to set!
Such a good way to use up weetbix and I love that it is no bake. My son has a dairy allergy so I haven’t got to try the white choc icing yet (I do a basic icing sugar / cocoa powder blend for the top with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
Thank you for such a yummy treat. I should also mention we freeze this & it works great.
Hi Cassie, i’m so happy to hear you and your son are enjoying this slice! It’s a fantastic way to use weetbix and the extra crumbs that are always left over. Your cocoa powder icing sounds absolutely delicious, a wonderful alternative to the white choc icing. I’ll have to try it with the cocoa and coconut the next time i make it. You’re so welcome! Glad to hear it has frozen well for you too. Thanks for sharing! Sam 🙂
