Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) dark or bittersweet chocolate chips (or equivalent chopped chocolate)
- 36 dried apricots
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped salted pistachios
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Place the chocolate in a small glass bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Stir with a heat-proof spatula. If not melted all the way, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each dried apricot halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Roll the chocolate-dipped end of the apricot in the finely chopped salted pistachios, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the coated apricots on the prepared baking tray. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Notes
- Once the chocolate has set, these can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a thicker chocolate coating, refrigerate the apricots after the first dip to set the chocolate before dipping them a second time.
- Ensure the pistachios are finely chopped for an even coating.
