Easy No-Bake Apricot and White Chocolate Slice

 Easy No-Bake Apricot and White Chocolate Slice
by chetram nagar

The only change I've made to that old recipe is to add in some white chocolate, which makes it feel just a tad more fancy.

This is a great lunchbox treat, and is lovely for morning or afternoon tea. It also travels well for picnics, and I often use it for smoko when we are down at the cattle yards or out in the paddock. It's sweet and fudgy and delicious.

I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

• 125g (1/2 cup) butter
• ½ cup soft brown sugar
• ½ tin sweetened condensed milk (200 grams)
• 1 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1 x 250g packet of plain sweet biscuits, crushed (I prefer Malt biscuits)
• 200g white chocolate buttons (optional but so good!)
• ¼ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

Method:

1. Chop your apricots finely (or save time and buy a packet of diced apricots!)
2. Crush the biscuits by placing in a plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin, or whizz them in a food processor. (Note: It is perfectly acceptable as the cook to have a biscuit to nibble on as you prepare the others for your recipe.)
3. Set aside 2/3 of the white chocolate buttons.
4. Grease a 20cm x 30cm slice tin with butter, or line it with baking paper so that the paper covers the bottom and the sides of the tin.
5. Place the butter, condensed milk and sugar into a large saucepan over low heat stirring constantly until the butter has melted. Do not boil! Remove from heat.
6. Dump the crushed biscuits and apricots into the melted butter mixture and stir well. Then add 1/3 of the white chocolate buds. Stir into the mixture which will be quite thick.
7. Pat the mix into the prepared tin using the back of a spoon or your clean wet hands. (wet hands stops the mixture sticking and helps you smooth the top)
8. Sprinkle with the coconut.
9. Melt the remaining white chocolate (in a microwave or over a  and drizzle over the slice in a decorative pattern.
10. Place slice in fridge to set, which will take about four hours.
11. Cut into small slices to serve. This slice will keep refrigerated for one week, if it lasts that long.

Here is the recipe and the taste test in pictures for you (and you'll notice that Rufous Dog has a great interest in all things food...):
