I have an almost full box of weetbix that no one is eating and is coming to it's use by date. Was thinking to cook something with it. Slice etc or any other recipes people may have. Any ideas? TIA

Hi, I made this yesterday and doubled the recipe, it's made a lovely moist cake.
WEETBIX FRUIT LOAF - In a large bowl add 4 crushed weetbix, 1 Cup sugar, 1 Good Tbsp Butter/Marg, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1 Cup dried Fruit, stir a little and pour one cup of boiling water over this and leave for five minutes, then add one beaten egg and 1 cup flour sifted with 1 tsp Baking power mix well and put in lined loaf tin and bake for an hour at 180 degrees C this freezes really well too

what a great thread - thank you to all ! ! I have made the second recipe at post #2 and it turned out delicious! ! I'm off to check out the others now... . I always seem to end up with at least half a dozen weetbix at the bottom of the packet that just go stale and end up crushed up on the lawn! ! No more waste! ! Sorry, sparrows!
