Ingredients
- 12 pieces Dried apricots
- 3 ounces Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method).
Step 3
Dip each dried apricot halfway into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped apricots on the prepared parchment-lined sheet.
Step 4
If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-covered portion of the apricots lightly with unsweetened shredded coconut or sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 5
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Once the chocolate is completely set, transfer the apricots to an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Step 7
Serve as a snack or a healthy dessert and enjoy!
