This no bake Apricot and Coconut Slice is my five year olds current favourite lunchbox treat!

No Bake Apricot and Coconut Slice Recipe

I’ve been making a batch of this no bake Apricot and Coconut Slice pretty much each week lately, as it’s quickly become a lunchbox staple!  Both of my older boys are in love with dried apricots, so they just love this quick and easy no bake slice and I love how simple it is to put together!

You can pop half of this Apricot and Coconut Slice into the freezer for another time if you like, as it defrosts well – just make sure you store it in a freezer friendly container. Otherwise, I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge where it will last for up to a week – well in theory anyway!

As well as being a great lunchbox treat, this no bake Apricot and Coconut Slice is also perfect for morning/afternoon tea, parties or you can make it just because you feel like a sweet treat!  If you would like to make it a little bit more indulgent, you can omit the extra coconut on top of the slice and replace it with melted white chocolate – yum!

    Hiya. I’m super keen to make this recipe but I am a little confused what you mean by “plain biscuits” as I am from Australia so I don’t know what that would convert to here.
    Thanks 🙂

      Hi Tayah, Thanks for your message 🙂 I’m also from Australia and am referring to a plain biscuit like Arnott’s Marie/Nice etc. I hope that helps!

    Going to try this tomorrow and will substitute weetbix for biscuits, also golden syrup for condensed milk.
