The Ultimate No-Bake Apricot Slice

This recipe is a classic, straight out of Grandma's kitchen. It's something my sister requests every time we're in the same country, it's a winner at potlucks and picnics - it's just perfect, ok?

Best of all, it requires no oven and very little stove-top action, so even those who claim they cannot bake to save their life have a shot at pulling this slice off successfully. Surely. Right?

So, here goes!

Apricot Slice Ingredients:

• 250g packet of Arrow Root biscuits, finely crushed (food processor or rolling pin will do the trick)

• 1 cup chopped dried apricots

• 1 cup desiccated coconut

• 395g can sweetened condensed milk

• 100g butter, chopped

• 250g milk/dark chocolate, melted

Method:

• Lightly grease and line a tray with baking paper (this is quite a firm mixture, so you can use whatever size tray you have on hand, and fill it up to wherever it lands!)

• In a large bowl, combine crushed biscuits, chopped apricots and coconut.

• Combine condensed milk and butter in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat for 4-5 minutes, or until smooth and relatively combined.

• Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.

• Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm.

• Melt chocolate in a medium bowl over a saucepan full of boiling water, stirring frequently.

• Pour over slice evenly, and then place in fridge until set.

• Slice evenly, or whatever way you wish, it's your party.

And there you are, the ultimate no-bake apricot slice!
