Chunky Chocolate Bars

Ingredients (Makes 12)

• 12 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped into small pieces;
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter;
• 1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk;
• 8 ounces graham crackers, broken;
• 1/2 cup raisins;
• 4 ounces pitted dried peaches, coarsely chopped;
• 1/2 cup hazelnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped;

Instructions

1. Line an 11 X 7 inch cake pan with plastic wrap.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir well until mixed.
3. Pour the condensed milk into the chocolate and butter mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon until creamy.
4. Add the broken graham crackers, raisins, chopped peaches and hazelnuts. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated in the rich chocolate sauce.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, making sure it is pressed well into the corners. Leave the top craggy. Cool then chill until set.
6. Lift out of the pan using the plastic wrap and then peel it off. Cut into 12 bars and serve immediately.

TGIAC Notes

• We used chocolate that already had hazelnuts in them.
• We couldn’t find dried peaches so we substituted for apricots.
