Dark Chocolate Dipped Apricots

Dark chocolate and apricots were meant to be together.  They compliment each other in so many ways.  They even like to write poems to each other.

Chocolate:

Dear apricots how do I love thee?  Let me count they ways...

 One, you are soft and chewy

Two, you are the color of a beautiful sunrise

Three, you are not too sweet.

Four, you are perfectly filling.

 

Apricot:

  Oh dark chocolate how do I love thee?  Let me count the ways....

 One you are rich.

Two, you are sweet but not too sweet. 

Three, you are chocolate.  Enough said.

Those look so yummy! As a nursery school teacher, I was once given these as a holiday gift. They made a great gift, especially since the child had helped to make them and they were a little lighter and healthier than all of the cookies that I usually get!

Awesome idea. My best bud loves apricots. I'm going to whip some up for her as a surprise!

What a cute post, and a delightful little snack. These would be great to serve after dinner before the main dessert is on the table.

I just found your blog from the comment you left on mine. Love it! These chocolate-covered apricots look delicious!

I was TOTALLY thinking about making something like this the other day! Then I ate my whole package of dried apricots within 24 hours. And realized maybe it wasn't the best idea since I obviously can't control myself around PLAIN dried apricots...let alone chocolate-covered ones.
