Dark Chocolate Dipped, Walnut Coated
Apricots Feel the dried apricots in their bag before buying, and choose the bag of dried apricots that feel soft and tender rather than hard and leather like. They will be easier to chew. Makes 16 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, about 1 ½ ounces Line a cookie sheet with parchment and set it on the counter by your microwave oven. Place the chocolate chips in a one cup glass bowl. Place the apricots on a plate, and the chopped walnuts into a small shallow bowl and set them on the counter by the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place the glass bowl with the chocolate chips into the microwave oven and set the timer for high speed and for one minute. After a minute, carefully (the bowl will be hot) remove the chocolate chips from the microwave oven. They won't be completely melted but they will have softened. Using a metal spoon, stir the softened chips until they melt and are smooth. Now, working quickly. Hold one end of an apricot and dip the other end into the melted chocolate, coating it about halfway up on both sides, then dip the chocolate end into the chopped walnuts to coat over the chocolate. Set the coated apricot onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet and continue to dip and coat the remaining apricots. Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator for up to three days. |
