Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound dried Turkish apricots
1 pound dark chocolate, finely chopped
Foil candy wrappers

Steps:

  • Using a heavy mallet, flatten apricots to 1/4 inch thick; set aside. Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring vigorously with a rubber spatula and scraping down sides in between, until just melted (chocolate should be no warmer than 86 degrees).
  • Dip each apricot in chocolate, coating evenly. Transfer to wire racks set over parchment paper; let stand until set.
  • Transfer apricots to baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 25 minutes. Wrap in foil wrappers.
