Looking for Weetabix Recipes to make bar type cookies

Hello out there, if anyone is still awake in the UK (I am sure you are!) I am in America and am looking for some Weetabix recipies to make some nice bar cookies for my kids to take with lunch. Nothing printed on the boxes anymore!

Have a look at this Google search if you're looking for things to make with weetabix.

And ignore everything Codswallop says about me - she's only jealous.

WendyRead · 07/09/2003 17:45

You are the best, I will go and look up the URL now! You guys are too much! Thanks. Wendy

well done wendy - you have correctly identified soupdragon as being the premiere domestic goddess on Mumsnet! Good luck with the weetabix recipes.

And by the way if you have a recipe for those very good marshmallow rice krispie squares that I used to eat at Brownies in Canada, could you post it? The recipes I've found here just aren't the same - not squishy enough.....

SoupDragon · 07/09/2003 18:02

I'm just good with Google...

princesspeahead · 07/09/2003 18:05

and jam making, and needlework, and interior design, and cake baking and smoothie whizzing.....

need I go on?!

WendyRead · 07/09/2003 18:34

Hummmm...I feel so badly that I didn't try to think up a better name for myself between princesspeahead and soupdragon. Maybe I will have to change my name later...Okay--Rice Crispy Treats from the USA (American measurements good luck):

Try this:

1/4 cup Butter (or Canola oil)
1 10 oz package of marshmellows (mini are easier, any will do)
6 cups of Rice Crispies (or bubbles or farts whichever you call them)

Grease or spraycoat a 13 X 9 inch pan

On the stovetop in a large saucepot, melt your butter or heat the oil. Add marshmallows, stirring constantly until melted. Quickly add the cereal, stirring until all of the pieces are evenly coated. Do not let anyone distract you during this phase or you will have rice krispie rock in the pot. Quickly press this mixture into the prepared 13 X 9 inch pan. You can grease your hands to press it down, or if you are more civilized, you can press it downwith wax paper. I myself, enjoy the burning pain of pressing it down on my own (I don't have enough pain). Cut into squares when cooled. For a smashing treat, you can roll in Mint Chocolate Chips (about a 1/2 cup or more) for the gourmets in the house--roll them in quickly in the pot before you pour out onto the 13 X 9.

I hope this will remind you of the ones from Canada miss peapistal, processedpeasOh my Goodness, I could have been missmushypeacan I change my name now? And ms soupdragon, thanks for the weetabix google, I found one for biscuits and I am off to the kitchen now. I need spell check for chat--when are they coming out with that?

I feel jealous - you are right.

I am the one who alerted her to this request for her "expertise"...just dont ask her about butternut squash Wendy....

WendyRead · 07/09/2003 19:38

Thank you Codswallup, I am so glad you were there for me--I had been reading over some of the chats and the ones with you and peahead and soupdragon were really the best. So...soupdragon, want to talk zucchini?

OP posts:
princesspeahead · 07/09/2003 19:44

we love you wendy
oh yes we do
we love you wendy
in the afternoon (well early evening really)...

maybe the pain of squishing boiling hot marshmallow mix with my hands will bring on labour.
has to be worth a go.

thank you!!

codswallop · 07/09/2003 20:13

dont get her onto it,,,yawn

I am watching Pop Idol for my sins

codswallop · 07/09/2003 20:14

BTW wendy, PPh talks to her plants.

SoupDragon · 07/09/2003 20:38

I get the feeling Wendy will fit right in here...

Zucchini (that's courgettes to you, Coddy) : sneak them into your non vegetable eating pre-schoolers by grating them into chocolate muffins. Works with spinach too apparently!

codswallop · 07/09/2003 20:48

LOl at the need for translation to the ignorant codster

(AHem with trans atlantic born DH)

SoupDragon · 07/09/2003 20:58

I just didn't think you were into exotically named vegetables

codswallop · 07/09/2003 21:08

Just orange ones

WendyRead · 07/09/2003 21:46

Oh God, where have I been? I walked away to make my biscuits! Very heavy, I might have to get the children to eat them through a funnel. I am not up with the DH and the DDL and the DIPPYS--I will have to review the Mums acronymn list huh? It feels so good to be loved. I am never having anymore children. My youngest is 9.

OP posts:
WendyRead · 07/09/2003 21:58

Oh...I just got that - ummmmmm you were thinking before you decided that was all the acronyms you could think ofgeez, it is tough without seeing expressions isn't it? What I am dying to know, do you guys do this all the time? Iwork out of my house here and have the internet up all daythis could be dangerous! You guys have cheered me up today.

bwhahaha.

sorry couldnt resist.

mmmmmm rice krispie marshmellow squares. note to self, go to asda romorrow and buy ingrediants.

SoupDragon · 08/09/2003 08:11

BTW = By the way
FWIW = for what it's worth
IYSWIM = if you see what I mean

And it's hopeless - once mumsnet has you sucked in, there's no escape.

Janstar · 08/09/2003 09:32

Funny you should mention them as I first discovered the marshmallow rice krispie things a week ago - made them with a thick layer of chocolate on the top and they were the yummiest thing. Only took 5 mins to make too. And you can pretend they are healthy with vitamin enriched cereal in them.

Jenie · 08/09/2003 10:19

Couldn't agree more Soupdragon, I've just spent the longest week away and have been unable to get onto mumsnet and felt very down about it.

Irattic moods, shivering in a corner, wanting to cry but not knowing why..... oh yeah but that may have been because I was staying with mil (mother in law).
