    Directions

    1. Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment. In a small pan, cook honey over medium heat until reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes. In a large bowl, combine coconut, almonds, apricots, cocoa nibs, puffed rice and vanilla; pour over hot honey. Mix with a wooden spoon until everything is well-coated. Spoon into prepared loaf pan and place another piece of parchment on top. Use your hands to firmly push mixture into all corners until surface is even. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove mixture from loaf pan, place on a cutting board, strip off parchment and slice into 6 portions. Melt chocolate in microwave on low power in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until melted, about 1 minute total. Pour into a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip (or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off) and drizzle over rice bars. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

    The convicted US Army war criminal Trump released early says he can't get a job 'even at Walmart or Target'

    Kaz66: Unless Trump decides to do away with Rules of engagement, codes of conduct and tears up the Geneva convention our soldiers are required to follow them. And if they don't they will be convicted of war crimes. A pardon does not suddenly make him an innocent man. Actually to accept a pardon is an admission of guilt so I doubt anything will be expunged! Lorrances expectations don't seem to be based on reality.
