I love turning a classic recipe into something fun and new. And this is no exception! Changing the icing and adding some mini eggs turns this familiar recipe into an Easter superstar.
Weetbix slice is one of those recipes that that is great for afternoon tea, filling lunchboxes and sharing with family and friends. Make this speckled egg version for Easter!
The layers in this speckled egg slice
- Weet-bix slice base. A delicious, lightly chocolate base that is speckled with crisp crumbles of weetbix and coconut. This base is a soft but firm baked layer.
- Speckled egg icing. A green or blue tinted vanilla icing that is speckled thought. The speckles come from crushed oreo biscuits and work perfectly to give off that speckled egg effect.
- Decorate with speckled eggs. The mini speckled eggs look perfect on top of this slice. Feel free to decorate with any type of mini Easter eggs that you like through.
Tips and tricks
– Use this icing to decorate other baked goodies for Easter too. Double the speckled icing mixture to decorate a large cake, cupcakes, fill sandwich cookies, you could even use it on top of these chocolate scrolls.
– This recipe is perfect for using up the leftover crumbs at the end of your packet of weetbix. You will need approx 3/4 cup of crushed wheetbix.
– Alternatively if you do not have any weetbix on hand you can use crushed biscuits, cornflakes, nuts or even oats in their place. You will need 3/4 cups of whatever substitute you choose.
– Keep your knife clean when making your cuts. This slice is a little bit on the crumbly side so those crumbles can tend to transfer into your icing if you are making multiple slices. Wipe your knife between slices to keep your edges crisp and tidy.
