members' cmments
Obbie - I doubled the recipe. Verdict: Yum, so good, will be making this again for sure.
cookie - It's lovely. Quite healthy too. I always have to adjust cooking times for my oven.
CarolineW - My family has one word for you - yum! It's a huge hit with all. Thanks so much for sharing. he only tweak I did was to used 2 thirds coconut and 1 third flaked almonds.
JD - ours turned out very dry and crumbly - tasted fine but I don't know what the problem was. I put out all the ingredients for him(GS) and nothing was left out, he pushed all the right buttons and did things correctly. Temp & time adhered to as well.
Thermo18 - DG made this today, and used dried craisins instead apricots only because that's what I had in cupboard, also like Caroline W I added some flaked almonds, yum yum.
mcmich - Smells wonderful, can't wait to try it. DH is taking it for work.
MamaMix - I really enjoyed this, thanks!! After leaving it in the pan for 5 minutes and taking it out it was sooo crumbly I was sure I'd failed. But it hardened up nicely as it cooled down and it's delicious the day after. Really nice recipe, will be making it again.
Tam - Thanks for this slice....... after reading some comments about it being a bit crumbly I reduced the coconut and the result is fantastic. Still a cake like slice but my girls love it. I swapped apricots for dates and threw in some sunflower seeds. My MIL is going to love them too!!!! I also used rapadura so I'm figuring they're kinda healthy!!!
KathD11 - it was soooo delicious I am sending the leftovers with DH to work tomorrow, I ate way too much today. I put 30 g slivered almonds in instead of the coconut and didn't have choc bits so added choc melts in with the apricot and pulsed it a few times.
MelT30 - Big Thumbs up! I used Craisins instead and it tastes delicious. Here's hoping the kids feel the same when they get home from school!! Another lunch box item! Thank You!

Thanks DG, was looking for something to give 3.5 yr old GS his first cooking lesson next week - this will be the one.
-
Thanks JD that means alot to me. Haven't converted many recipes and I was looking for a slice to cut up for DS to take to school. Thought I would give it a go.

The only tweak I did was to used 2 thirds coconut and 1 third flaked almonds.

Caroline, thank you so much for your feedback. I am so glad you all loved it as much as we do.
I love your idea of flaked almonds. I have some in the cupboard so will try that this weekend.

DG I got GS to put this one together but ours turned out very dry and crumbly - tasted fine but I don't know what the problem was. I put out all the ingredients for him and nothing was left out, he pushed all the right buttons and did things correctly. Temp & time adhered to as well.
-
Not quite sure why yours was dry and crumbly JD. Sorry :-[
-
Not a problem, he didn't ask for a piece but I was going to send it home for his big sister's lunch boxes and couldn't. It gave him his first shot at pushing buttons and adding ingredients so that was all that mattered on this occasion.
