Recipe - Chocolate-Bran Bars

6 ounce Semisweet chocolate; chopped
2 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Molasses
2/3 cup Dried apricots; chopped
1/3 cup Pitted prunes; chopped
3 cup 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:
