    6       oz           Semisweet chocolate -- chopped
    2       tb           Butter
    1       tb           Molasses
      2/3   c            Dried apricots -- chopped
      1/3   c            Pitted prunes -- chopped
    3       c            Bran flake cereal
 
   Grease a shallow 11" x 7" 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 back of 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.  Source: "The Book of Cookies" by Pat Alburey.  HP Books.
