Serves 8
Great as a snack! Or, you can make a batch of it, wrap them nicely and give them out as holiday or party gifts.

If you don’t have Buy Me a Pie! app installed you’ll see the list with ingredients right after downloading it
Instructions
- Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the microwave or in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate. If using the microwave, vigorously stir your chocolate every 10 to 15 seconds to prevent burning.
- Quickly dip each apricot halfway in the chocolate and then lay on the parchment. Sprinkle with toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Once finished, place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer for 15 to 30 minutes so the chocolate hardens.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Topping ideas: chopped pistachios, cocoa nibs, chia seeds, hemp seeds, matcha tea powder, flaky sea salt
- May need to reheat the chocolate if it starts to harden midway through the dipping.
