Dark Chocolate Dipped Apricots

Ingredients:

1 cup dried apricots

1 cup dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate is my favorite)

2 T sea salt

In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips until smooth. Place a large piece of parchment paper on your work space. Dip half of each apricot into the melted chocolate, shaking off the excess. Place on the parchment paper, sprinkle with 3-4 grains of sea salt. Repeat. Allow to cool and harden.

Tip: place in fridge to quicken hardening process.

Options:

Try dipping fresh strawberries too (no sea salt)

Dried mango or any other dried fruits work here too!
