Chocolate and Apricot Bars

These remind me of the bars we used to buy as kids, happy days!

INGREDIENTS

300g Te Atatu Toasted Original blend

40g desiccated coconut

200g dried apricots + 45g extra, chopped

60g butter, melted

1T almond butter

1/2t sea salt

2T water

80g dark chocolate, chopped

METHOD

• Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the 200g of apricots and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Place the muesli and coconut in a high speed blender and pulse until nearly the texture of flour.
• Drain the apricots and add them along with the melted butter, almond butter, salt and water.
• Blend until well combined and a dough forms. It needs to form a dough or it will be too dry.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir through the extra apricots and chocolate.
• Press mixture evenly into a lined baking tray (20x20cm) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Slice into 12 portions (or your desired size)and store in a sealed container in the fridge.

Enjoy!
