How to Make Easy Chocolate Dipped Apricots Apricot Chanukah Gelt

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heat-safe bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  3. Add 12 ounces of Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips to the heat-safe bowl.
  4. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Alternatively, microwave chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until melted and smooth.
  6. Gently add 1 pound of dried apricots to the melted chocolate.
  7. Stir gently until all apricots are evenly coated.
  8. Using a fork, carefully lift each apricot, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  9. For an elegant look, dip only half of each apricot into the chocolate.
  10. Place apricots on the prepared baking sheets.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
  12. (Optional) Wrap individual apricots in foil or festive cellophane for gifting.
  13. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
