Melt some butter/margarine/soya stuff in a pan, with some brown sugar
and some golden syrup..in about the same quantities as you would for
flapjack.

In a bowl smash up some weetabix (i use about 6. Is that half a
sleeve?i think so) and add some dried fruit and chopped glace
cherries. I have only tried it with the usual type of dried fruit, but
i am sure that stuff like apricots and prunes or something would be
nice. I add a few handfuls of fruit and as many cherries that make it
to the bowl before i eat them.....

Mix in the melted fat, sugar and syrup, and stir thoroughly. It should
all be nicely coated, but not too wet. If it is just mix in another
crushed weetabix.

Pour into a baking tray that has been well greased, and cook for about
20 mins on a medium heat.

After it is cooked, take it out and slice it still in the pan. Leave
it to firm up a bit, and then take the slices out to cool properly on
a wire tray.
