Chocolate Weetbix slice.

Simple and full of energy.
This dish contains lots of fat and sugar so needs to be eaten in small amounts with lots of exercise afterwards.
Compact your slice down before you put it in the oven. Let it cool down after it has cooked for 20 minutes. It will harden up as it cools, making it easier to remove from the tin.
Don't add too much hot water to your icing! Just enough to make it slightly runny.
