Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine crushed Weetbix, coconut, flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
Pour in melted butter and milk, mixing until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Sprinkle with coconut or colored sprinkles, if desired.
Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips

Crush the Weetbix finely for a smoother texture, or leave it chunkier for added crunch.
Spread icing while the base is still warm — it helps it stick better.
Store in an airtight container to keep it chewy and moist.
Add a pinch of salt to the batter to balance the sweetness.
