This recipe is too good not to share, is very easy to make and uses ingredients that most of us already have in the pantry.

Biscuit base

• 1/2 cup rice bran oil
• 3 weetbix
• 1 tbsp cocoa
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 170g flour
• 85g sugar

Peppermint icing

• 1 cup icing sugar
• 2 tsp peppermint essence
• water

Chocolate icing

• 2 cups icing sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa
• 2 tbsp rice bran oil
• water

Method

Preheat oven to 180C and grease a 20cm x 30cm oven dish.

Crush the weetbix into a bowl. Add the flour, oil, cocoa, sugar and baking powder and mix well. Squash the mixture into the oven dish and press down flat. Bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes, until you have a firm biscuit base.

While the base is cooking, mix the peppermint with icing sugar. Add a little bit of water at a time until you have a smooth paste. Spread the paste over the biscuit base as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Wait for the biscuit base to cool before spreading the chocolate icing over the top. Mix the icing sugar, cocoa and oil then, as you did with the peppermint icing, add water bit by bit until you have a smooth paste. Once the biscuit base is cool, spread the chocolate icing over the top then cut into slices.
