1 cup crystallised ginger
1.5 cup dried apricots
4 tbsp buckwheat flour (or wholemeal)

Preheat oven to 180̊C and line a small baking tin. Cover one cup of the apricots in boiling water and set aside for at least 15min.

Roughly chop brazil nuts, ginger, remainder of apricots and chocolate into large chunks and place in mixing bowl.

Drain soaked apricots and blend in food processor until smooth, add in honey and coconut oil and combine. Mix the apricot paste with the other ingredients. Stir well; the mixture should hold together, but if not, add a little extra flour.
