Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl or a heavy saucepan, combine the large marshmallows and milk.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30-60 seconds until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, stirring until glossy. Alternatively, melt over low heat on the stove, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate morsels until they are fully melted and incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
  5. Add the crisp rice cereal, raisins, and finely chopped dried apricots to the bowl.
  6. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until the cereal and fruits are evenly coated in the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
  7. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula dipped in cooking spray or water to prevent sticking.
  8. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature until set, which should take about 30-45 minutes.
  9. Lift the set block out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
