If you love peanut butter as much as we do, this peanut-butter-packed slice is the perfect sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 5 Weet-Bix, crushed (85g)
  • 1 cup white self-raising flour (140g)
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut (35g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150 g margarine, melted
  • 1 cup caster sugar (200g)
  • 1/3 cup Peanut Butter (90g)
Icing
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (70g)
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar (35g)
  • 1 Tbs margarine, melted (20g)
  • 1 Tbs boiling water

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Line base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm slice tin with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, stir together Weet-Bix, flour, coconut, and salt.

  3. Step 3

    Combine melted margarine, sugar, and peanut butter in a in a pan or heat-proof jug and mix until smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir well.

  4. Step 4

    Immediately transfer base mixture into the prepared tin and smooth surface.

  5. Step 5

    Bake 15 minutes until golden – slice is soft when hot and will firm up as it cools. Cool in tin 20 mins, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

  6. Step 6

    To make icing, combine peanut butter, icing sugar, margarine and hot water in a small bowl. Stir until thick and smooth – it may look split at first, but just keep stirring and it will come together. Spread icing over cooled slice. Cut into 18 pieces.

Tips

  • Icing will set to the touch at room temperature. Store extra slice in a sealed container in the fridge.
  • Both smooth and crunchy peanut butter will work in this recipe.
