    Weetbix Slice is a classic Aussie bake – chewy, chocolatey, and perfect for lunchboxes or after-school treats. Made from crushed Weet-Bix, cocoa, and coconut, then topped with smooth chocolate and Freckles, it’s always a winner.

    If your family loves old-school favourites like my Chocolate Caramel Slice or Mars Bar Slice, this one’s a must-make!

    Easy and delicious slice that’s not too rich. I’ve made this dozens of times over the years and happy with coconut or freckles toppings. Beautiful recipe!

    - Tracy

    Crushed Weet-Bix, cocoa and coconut baked into a chewy base, then smothered in silky milk chocolate and topped with colourful freckles—this is the slice every Aussie mum keeps up her sleeve. It’s a one-bowl wonder, ready in 30 minutes, and my recipe gives you both Thermomix and conventional instructions, so you can whip it up however you prefer.

    Pop a piece into the kids’ lunchboxes, enjoy one with a cuppa during nap time, or keep a stash in the freezer for those “I need chocolate now” moments. If you love a good slice as much as I do, make sure you check out my Marshmallow Weetbix Slice, Caramel Hedgehog Slice or classic Lemon and Coconut Slice too!

    Slice Ingredients

    A handful of pantry staples—just make sure these hero ingredients are on point:

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method!

    • Chocolate Freckles: Press them on while the chocolate’s soft for that fun, speckled finish. Alternatively, use sprinkles, 100s and 1000s or coconut.
    • Weet-Bix: Fresh (not the stale crumbs lurking at the bottom of the box) for maximum crunch.
    • Cocoa powder: Use regular unsweetened cocoa, not drinking chocolate, for a rich cocoa hit.

    Variations

    • Gluten-Free – swap in GF Weet-Bix and add an extra egg to help bind.
    • Lemon-Iced Version – skip the chocolate top and finish with the lemon icing from my Lemon Weetbix Slice.
    • Topping Options - sprinkle coconut, 100s and 1000s or sprinkles over the melted chocolate instead of using Freckles.

    How To Make Chocolate Weetbix Slice

    Grab a bowl (or your Thermie) and let’s bake!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method!

    All weetbix slice ingredients mixed together with wooden spoon.
    1. Step 1: Mix. Combine crushed Weet-Bix, cocoa, brown sugar, melted butter, coconut and egg. Stir until evenly coated.
    Chocolate Weetbix Slice mixture pressed a square tin.
    1. Step 2: Bake. Press firmly into tin. Bake 15–20 min until the top springs back lightly. Cool completely.

    1. Step 3: Top. Melt chocolate (with coconut oil if using). Spread over slice and quickly decorate with Freckles.

    Top Tip

    Let the chocolate topping firm up in the fridge, but always bring the slice back to room temp before cutting—no more shattered chocolate!

    Recipe Tips

    • Press the base very firmly into the tin—loosely packed slice = crumbly squares.
    • A fresh box of Weet-Bix keeps the texture light and chewy.
    • Add coconut oil (or mild veg oil) to melted chocolate for café-style clean cuts.
    • Slice with a serrated knife wiped in hot water between cuts.
    • Storage: Airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week.
    • Freezing: Wrap individual squares; freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in lunchboxes—too easy!

    Weetbix Slice FAQs

    Can I make this slice using gluten-free Weet-Bix?

    Yes, you can! I would recommend adding an extra egg to keep it from crumbling.

    Can I make chocolate Weetbix slice egg-free?

    Yes – replace the egg with 2 tablespoon milk. The slice will be a touch more crumbly but still delicious.

    Why do I need to use coconut oil when melting chocolate?

    The coconut oil helps keep the chocolate slightly softer which makes it easier to cut without the chocolate layer cracking. It's optional, but I do find it makes slicing easier!

    Why is my slice dry?

    Usually from over-baking or using stale Weet-Bix. Bake until just firm and use a fresh box of Weet-bix.

      we all really liked it - reminded us of chocolate crackles. I did forget that as I was using gf weetbix I should've added an extra egg so it was a bit crumbly - will not forget next time! I also used coconut oil instead of butter.
