These last few months I’ve been obsessed with Apricots. We had a bunch leftover in the pantry and so I decided to make Chocolate Dipped Dried Apricots! Originally I bought them for a cheese board. Apricots make for GREAT filler on a cheese board. Husband was thrilled when I brought them home; apparently he loves them! This was my first time trying one and wow have I missed out all this time!
Now I buy them every week as part of my weekly grocery haul. The other day when I made my Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates, I decided to play around with some dried apricots and dip them in the leftover melted chocolate I had used for the dates. Pretty much anything is good dipped in chocolate so these Chocolate Dipped Dried Apricots were obviously a hit. We put them in the freezer and they were an incredible treat throughout the week!

- Great for your skin

This little treat is perfect as a dessert, snack or a fun addition to an amazing snack/cheese board! Apricots in general are low in calorie and I dipped them in 100% cacao so there’s no added sugar. The dried apricot is sweet enough that added sugar isn’t needed. Enjoy!
