  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1 zested orange rind
  • 6 cups rice bubbles

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the ingredients (excluding the rice bubbles and chocolate) into a large pot, and melt over a low heat.
  • Bring to the boil, and stir often until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Take off of the heat and stir in 6 cups of rice bubbles.
