Ingredients
Chocolate Weetbix Base
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 4 Tbsp room temperature water
- 8 Weetbix
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 Tbsp honey, runny not solid
Dark Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup (180g) dark chocolate melts, or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Chocolate Weetbix Base
- Prepare Tin: Line a square 9-inch x 9-inch (22cm x 22cm) baking tin with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Soak Chia Seeds: Place the chia seeds in a small jug or bowl. Add water, stir, and let thicken for 5 minutes.
- Crush Weetbix: In a large mixing bowl, crush each Weetbix using your hands.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir the cocoa powder into the crushed Weetbix.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add almond butter, honey, and soaked chia seeds to the bowl.
- Combine Mixture: Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix until the Weetbix is evenly coated and the mixture sticks together.
- Press into Tin: Firmly press the mixture into the lined tin to create a solid base. Set aside.
Dark Chocolate Topping
- Prepare Double Boiler: Set up a double boiler with simmering water in the saucepan below with a heat-proof bowl sitting on top.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the dark chocolate melts to the bowl and slowly melt over low-medium heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Spread Over Base: Pour the melted chocolate over the base, spreading it out evenly.
- Set: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until chocolate is set.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the slice from the tin onto a cutting board. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes for the chocolate to slightly soften. Warm a knife under hot water, dry it, then cut the slice for easier slicing through the chocolate. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store: Keep the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then place them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Label with the name and date. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
- Thaw: Allow the Weetbix slice to thaw in the refrigerator until soft, or at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
