   I make this slice every week for DH and I, it would be great for the kids as  well but we are too mean to share!

I saw Steve Joll ("the Bloke who bakes") make it on Good Morning

For an 18x28cm slice, 12-16 servings 

125g butter 

2 household tablespoons golden syrup 

1 cup lightly packed brown sugar 

1 tsp vanilla 

1 large egg 

1 cup standard (plain) flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

6 weetbix, crushed 

1 cup coconut thread 

11/2 cups dried fruit (we like sultanas or raisins, chopped dried apricots and dried cranberries) I usually use apricots, sultanas and dates. I sometimes chop up a little bit of apple and add that as well but it does make the bar softer

1/2 cups chocolate bits or chips 

Preheat oven to 180degC.

Measure the butter, golden syrup and sugar into a large pot or microwave bowl and heat until the butter has melted (about 1 minute on High (100%) power). Stir to combine, then add the vanilla and egg and mix again.

Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly combined.

Line an 18x28cm tin with baking paper or a Teflon liner, then press the mixture evenly into this. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the centre feels about as firm as the edges (reduce the heat a little if the top browns too fast).

Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a rack. Cut into the desired sized pieces and store in an airtight container until required.
