Steps
Soak the raisins in water for 5 minutes to rehydrate them. Break the chocolate into squares and place it in a bowl with butter and acacia honey, and melt in a double boiler or microwave. In another large bowl, pour the puffed rice, rolled oats, and coarsely chopped almonds.
Add the drained raisins dried with paper towels, the chopped dried apricots, and mix all the ingredients well. As soon as the melted chocolate is lukewarm, pour it over everything.
Mix the mixture well, then pour everything into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Level well by pressing with the back of a spoon and refrigerate to firm for a few hours. Once hardened, turn the tray over onto the cutting board and with a sharp knife cut 12 Energy Bars of 4 in x 1.5 in. To preserve them best, it is helpful to wrap them in cling film and keep them in the fridge.
