Chocolate Pistachio Covered Apricots

Add to Recipe Box

This is one of my favorite summer desserts.  It’s simple, quick and the perfect ending to your meal.  My husband and I often relax at the end of the evening with a glass of wine while we watch the sun go down and these little treats are wonderful for nibbling on as we sip our wine.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 24 dried apricots
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips of your choice (semi-sweet, dark chocolate – it’s up to you)
• 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, crushed

Preparation:

1. Melt the chocolate chips, either on the stove top (in a double boiler if you prefer) or in a microwavable bowl.
2. Dip half of each apricot in the chocolate and sprinkle with nuts on both sides.
3. Lay the apricots on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.  Let them set for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate has cooled to room temperature.  (If your chocolate won’t harden try placing the apricots in the fridge for 3-4 minutes.)
