Ingredient notes:
- Chocolate: I love the taste of milk chocolate in this recipe. Feel free to swap this out for white, dark or even Caramilk chocolate if you prefer.
- Dried Apricots: Leave these out if you or kids don't like them. You could also substitute them for dried cranberries.
- Rice Bubbles: The key ingredient! If you want to mix things up, you could use half rice bubbles and half corn flakes in the recipe.
Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Add the rice bubbles and apricots then stir until combined.
Pour into a lined 20 x 20cm baking tray and push firmly into the edges. Smooth the top with the back of a metal spoon.
Scatter over the sprinkles then place in the fridge in the tray for at least 1-2 hours until set.
