Chocolate fruit crispies

Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.

Combine crisp rice cereal, raisins, and finely chopped dried apricots in a large bowl and toss gently to distribute the fruit evenly.

Place marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate morsels, and milk in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.

Stir constantly until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal and fruit mixture.

Fold the ingredients together gently but thoroughly until all cereal pieces and fruit are coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or buttered hands, working quickly before the mixture sets.

Cool in the pan at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until completely set, then cut into squares and serve.
