Easy Apricot Bar

Here's an easy recipe I found in the April issue of Whole Living. The picture looked good and the recipe was short enough for me to try it.


Chocolate-Apricot Nut Bar.
1 1/2 cups dried apricots
1/2 cup raw almonds, toasted
2 tbsp. unsweetened coconut, shredded, toasted
Coarse salt (I left this out)
1/2 oz dark chocolate, melted


Chop apricots, almonds, coconut in food processor. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and press mixture into bottom of the pan. Drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle with more coconut. Leave in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm then cut into bars.
Can be stored in an airtight container up to 5 days, ours didn't make it that long.
