Snackbox No-Bake Snickers-Style Weetbix Slice (No Sugar, Hidden Veggies!)

Lunchbox No-Bake Snickers-Style Weetbix Slice (No Sugar, Hidden Veggies!)

Introduction

Meet your new lunchbox hero 🍫🥜—a no-bake slice that tastes just like a Snickers, but without the sugar crash. Naturally sweetened with soaked dates and banana, it hides a sneaky serve of zucchini and packs in extra fibre thanks to All-Bran and Weetbix. The creamy peanut-butter chocolate layer on top is the ultimate indulgent touch.

Best part? It’s nutty, chocolatey, chewy, and totally kid-approved—plus there’s no baking, no refined sugar, and it holds up beautifully in lunchboxes.

💡 No-nut school or family? Just skip the peanut butter and you’ve got yourself a Mars Bar-style slice instead.

Why It Works

• Lunchbox-friendly: Holds its shape, no sticky fingers, and no sugar crash mid-school day.

• Hidden veggies: The grated zucchini disappears into the base—kids won’t know, but you will.

• Naturally sweet: Dates and banana give a rich caramel-like sweetness, so there’s no need for refined sugar.

• Versatile: Peanut butter for that Snickers vibe, or skip it for a Mars Bar feel that’s school-friendly.

• No-bake & easy: No oven, no fuss—just mix, press, drizzle, and chill.

  Instructions

  1. Soak & Prep
     Place dates in warm water for ~10 minutes until soft. Drain, reserving a little water.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients
     Mash banana in a large bowl. Add soaked dates, breaking them up with a fork or spoon until combined.

  3. Add Veggies & Fibre
     Stir in grated zucchini and All-Bran. Crumble in the Weetbix. Mix well. If dry, add a splash of reserved date water or sweetener of choice.

  4. Soften & Bind
     Let mixture sit 5 minutes so the cereals soak up the moisture.

  5. Press
     Line a small loaf or square tin with baking paper. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the tin.

  6. Make the Topping

     • Snickers-style: Melt chocolate and peanut butter together until smooth.

     • Mars Bar-style: Melt chocolate and coconut oil/butter together until smooth.

  7. Finish & Chill
     Spread topping over the base. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.
