Delicious crunchy snack bars for kids made with Weetabix. Easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

Chocolate Weetabix Bars cut into small squares and decorated with brightly coloured sugar strands and stars. served in a bright red Classic lunchbox with slices cucumber and apple.

One thing we always seem to have in my house is opened packets of Weetabix. My son loves Weetabix for breakfast but is always flitting between the different flavours and sizes so we have several boxes on the go at once.

I decided to use some of the plain weetabix to make some chocolate bars. Great for an afternoon snack or to take on days out.

How To Make Weetabix Bars

Full measurements for these bars are in the recipe card towards the bottom of this post but I've also included some step-by-step photos here if that's helpful to see.

Crush the weetabix with your hands and add to a bowl with flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder.

Mix well with a spoon.

Melt some butter and mix it with vanilla extract then add this to the weetabix mixture.

Press into a lined tin then bake for 15 minutes.

Once cooked, allow the mixture to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then melt some milk chocolate and pour this over the top.

Sprinkles on top are totally optional but they do make the snack bars look even better! Refrigerate until the chocolate has set.

Once the chocolate has set, cut into 16 squares and they are ready to enjoy.

They have a lovely crunchy, slightly crumbly, texture and can confirm that they are delicious with a cup of coffee for adults too!
