We discovered Weet-Bix on a trip to NZ - my husband loved them. We can find them in the US at Trader Joe's. Apparently in AU, "slices" are what US bakers call bars. A slice tin is about 7.5 inches by 11 inches. An 8x8 inch pan could be used, but the bars will have to bake a little longer due to smaller surface area but thicker amount of batter. Also, the kind of sprinkles that are little dots (nonpareils) are called 100s and 1000s in AU. Learn something new every day!
