Place biscuits (crushed and chopped), dried apricots, white chocolate, sultanas or raisins, coconut and macadamia nuts in a large bowl.
This deliciously rich no-bake slice is quick and easy to make. I just made use of what was in the pantry, I didn't have and sultanas or raisins, but I did have a bag of dried fruit so I used the apricots and pears. I sent a pice of the slice in the school lunch box and my son said it was great and tasted like rocky road.
Makes about 28 pieces (each about 4cm by 3.5cm).
We use a 20ml tablespoon and 250ml measuring cup for all of our recipes.
