Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Mix the butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, the mixture is dry, and doesn't form a dough.
- Lightly grease the small slice tray then add the base and press down so it is flat.
- Bake the base in the oven for 8 minutes then remove and let cool.
- In a bowl add the condensed milk and orange food coloring. This step is done here so you can easily mix and adjust the color. Often food colors are bought in packs of four and the orange color requires 1 drop of red to 3 of yellow. Check packets for specific instructions.
- Add the apricots and coconut and stir well so well distributed.
- Add the apricot mixture to the slice pan on top of the chocolate base. Smooth and press down to create an even layer.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, it will look slightly dry but will not brown. Leave aside to cool for at least 30 minutes before adding the chocolate layer.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot with about 1 inch of water. Slowly heat the water which will heat the chocolate. Stir occasionally and monitor so it doesn't overheat.
- Using a butter knife drizzle the chocolate back and forth over the top of the apricot slice. This can be in parallel lines, crisscrossed, or similar. Continue to add until all the chocolate is gone. Leave for 30 minutes for the chocolate to set.
- Cut the slice to serve. This is a very rich slice so small bite-sized pieces work best, but if desired it can also be cut into more generous serving proportions as a dessert slice.

HONEY, DATE AND APRICOT SLICE
A yummy, crunchy slice with (surprisingly) as much flavour as traditional slices high in butter and sugar. This was originally a recipe in Too Good To Be True but I've made changes to remove all butter and further reduce the amount of sugar used. Also low GI.

CHOC-BIT APRICOT SLICE
Another recipe my my favourite paper.......... The Weekly Times. Jeremy Vincent has some fantastic recipes that he has published in this paper. I have been making so many of his recipe's just lately. This recipe is just another one of his recipes that I have made, one of which this family just loved. I did use the option of Lemon icing and these were just so easy and yet so scrumptious!

Tips:
- When making the base, be sure to use cold butter. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Once the base is made, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the base from shrinking too much in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apricots. This will help to prevent the apricots from tearing.
- When making the glaze, be sure to use apricot jam that is not too thick. If the jam is too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
- If you don't have apricot jam, you can use another type of fruit jam, such as strawberry or raspberry.
- Be sure to store the slice in an airtight container. This will help to keep the slice fresh and moist.
Conclusion:
The Choc-bit Apricot Slice is a delicious and easy-to-make sweet treat. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual afternoon tea to a special holiday gathering. With its flaky base, sweet apricot filling, and chocolatey topping, the Choc-bit Apricot Slice is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
