By Sheridan 29 September, 2020

Make a batch of this terrific, tasty slice with the kids during the school holidays. When cool, cut into bars and store in an airtight jar in the fridge. I can guarantee they won't last long!

Prep Time : 20-25 minutes
Cook Time : 35-40 minutes
Yield : 20

Ingredients

mixed nuts (pistachios, pecans or walnuts, macadamias) - 1 1/2 cups, unsalted
dried apricots - 1 cup, diced
organic sultanas (golden raisins) - 1 cup
plain flour - 1/3 cup
flaked or shredded coconut - 1 1/2 cups
white chocolate - 300g, broken or chopped into small pieces
honey - 1/2 cup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 160C (140C fan-forced). Line a slab tin with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the mixed nuts, apricots and sultanas. Sift the flour over the top. Add the coconut and mix well to combine.
Place the chocolate and honey in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water, stirring to combine.
Remove from heat and pour over the fruit and nut mixture. Mix well to combine - it will be sticky and you'll need to use your hands to bring it together.
Spoon into tin and press down hard to even the top -if you dip your hands in milk, this will make it easier.
Bake 35-40 minutes until golden on top.
Remove from oven, mark into small bars or squares and leave to cool. Cut with a sharp knife when cold and store in a screw top jar in the fridge.
