Super simple Weet-Bix shortbread bars have a classic crisp texture with a fun chocolate drizzle. Perfect for serving special guests at home, or gifting to friends and family.

Ingredients

  • 3 Weet-Bix, very finely crushed
  • 1 cup plain flour (130 g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (80 g)
  • 150 g margarine or vegan butter, very cold

To decorate:

  • 40 g dark chocolate, melted

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Lightly coat a 20 cm square tin with cooking oil spray, and line base and two sides of the pan with a strip of baking paper.
  2. Step 2

    Crush Weet-Bix very well, or pulse in a processer or blender until fine. Tip Weet-Bix into a bowl with flour, salt, and sugar. Stir well.
  3. Step 3

    Working quickly, add margarine and use fingertips to rub into the dry ingredients until well incorporated.
  4. Step 4

    Transfer dough to the prepared pan, press into an even layer, and smooth surface. Score into 12 (2 x 6) bars. Use a fork to prick each bar three times.
  5. Step 5

    Bake 40 – 45 minutes until shortbread is golden. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then use a sharp knife to carefully cut shortbread along score lines. Leave in pan a further 30 minutes to cool completely.
  6. Step 6

    Use paper overhang to carefully remove shortbread from pan. Separate bars and drizzle with melted chocolate.

Tips

Shortbread can instead be scored into 18 (3 x 6) bars or 24 (4 x 6) bites.
