Fruity pineapple and chocolate no bake slice

Adapted from https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/fruity-chocolate-no-bake-slice/

250g pkt milk arrowroot biscuits; 200g dried pineapple; 200g dried apricots; 400g dark chocolate, broken up; 1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream; 170g craisins

Line a 20cm x 30cm slab pan with non-stick baking paper. Place biscuits into a large sealable plastic bag and close. Wrap in a tea towel and use a rolling pin to roughly crush biscuits.

Cut up the apricots and pineapple into small pieces.

Melt the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave on medium/50 per cent power, stirring every minute.)

Add the crushed biscuits, apricots, pineapple and craisins to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Spoon into the pan and use the back of the spoon to smooth the surface. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours or until set. Cut into squares to serve.
