Here's another recipe I got from another site. My kids have just made them, they're that easy ... and they are yummy!!! Thought the weetabix was an odd ingredient .. but they were gorgeous.

In a bowl put
4 crushed weetabix
4oz caster sugar
4oz self raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
pkt chocolate drops (i used a 25p 100g tescos own milk chocolate chopped up)
mix this altogether

then take 4oz of melted marg(I used Butter) and stir this into the mixture along with an egg

mix well and put in a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes at electric 180.
