Notes
■ Other chopped dried fruits can be substituted for apricots and sultanas.■ Try making the filling and sandwiching it between two pieces of bread. Then cook in a sandwich press until the chocolate has melted. Yum!
■ You can also make a delicious dessert by folding the filling through slightly softened vanilla ice-cream. Freeze until firm. Scoop into bowls. Drizzle with warm melted chocolate.
