Chocolate-Bran Bars
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons butter1 tablespoon molasses
2/3 cup ( 3 ounces ) dried apricots, chopped
1/3 cup ( 2 ounces ) pitted prunes, chopped
3 cups bran flake cereal
Grease a shallow 11 x 7-inch baking pan with butter; line bottom with parchment or waxed paper. Melt chocolate, butter and molasses together in a bowl placed over a pan of gently simmering water. Remove from heat.
Add apricots, prunes and cereal to chocolate mixture; mix thoroughly. Spread in prepared pan, smoothing top with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until firmly set.
Loosen mixture from pan by running the tip of a knife around the inside edges of pan. Turn out onto a board and remove paper; turn mixture over. Cut in 24 pieces. Arrange bars neatly on a serving dish or store in an airtight container in a cool place for 2 to 3 days. Makes 24 bars.
