Method
- Grease and line a 20 x 20cm square loose-bottomed cake tin. Put the rice crispies into a large bowl with the dried apricots (if using); set aside.
- Put the honey and peanut butter in a small pan over a low-medium heat, stirring, until melted and combined. Continue to heat, stirring for 2-3 mins, until the mixture is starting to boil – it will then start to become dense fairly quickly. As soon as it starts to thicken, working quickly, tip into the bowl of rice crispies and mix thoroughly and firmly.
- Continuing to work quickly, spoon into the cake tin, spread out and press down firmly with the back of the spoon to get an even layer. Chill for 1 hour until firm.
- Remove from the tin. Drizzle with the chocolate (if using) and chill for 5 mins to set. Make 4 cuts downwards and 2 cuts crossways to get 15 bars.
