80 g	Walnuts, chopped
80 g	Dried apricots, roughly chopped

Grease a 20 cm slice tin. Break the biscuits into small pieces or roughly crush with a rolling pin. Put into a mixing bowl with the walnuts and apricots.
Melt the butter with the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in the cocoa and stir until smooth. Let cool.
Lightly beat the eggs and stir into the mixture, combining thoroughly. Press into the prepared tin and chill.

Pour over the slice and return to the fridge to set before slicing into squares.
