5 stars plus plus !! Next time I will double the recipe as it is so wonderful.I had to use rice bubbles instead of weetbix but I don't think at the end of the day it altered the recipe much . I did not even get to ice it as I came home from work and more than half had been devoured by the children !!!

Very quick and easy to make. Turns out I didn't have weetbix so subbed cornflakes which I crushed up a little. Only got to taste a sliver as I was giving away. Still seemed quite soft this morning after being in the fridge overnight, not sure if that is how it is meant to be or because of the cornflake substitution. Will try again with weetbix and re-review. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great square! I had to leave the coconut out as DS won't eat it. I might add some mini chocolate chips to it next time I make it. It was very easy to make. I did not have self raising flour, so added 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder to the recipe, I also used salted butter. I baked it at 325F for 20 minutes, let it cool for about 10 minutes & spread the icing on it. Thanks for posting this recipe mummy. Made for PAC spring 2011.
