INGREDIENTS
500g white chocolate
Pack of digestive biscuits.  We used choc top ones.
Dried apple rings
Cinnamon
Museli with oats.

We tried it 2 ways.  We were able to make 8 brick bars and 6 pods.
Blend or crush digestive biscuits until they are crumbs.
Melt white chocolate and add chopped dried apple. To melt in the microwave, start with  1 minute burst then 30 second bursts, stirring in between until melted.  We only used a half pack of apple.  Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon into white chocolate and mix.

For pod moulds: Sprinkle at the bottom some museli.  Then add melted and apple white chocolate mix till not quite to the top.  Top with crumbed digestive and pat down.  Chill until set.

For our bars, we just mixed everything in together and put it into the moulds.  They had to be kept in the chiller as they go softer than normal chocolate at room temperature.

Both versions were yummy, but to keep the brick molded choc firm as normal chocolate is, we had to keep it in the fridge.
