Tips & Tricks

What's great about these homemade chocolates is that they require just 3 ingredients - either prunes or dried apricots, hazelnuts and dark chocolate. That's it!

I've used hazelnuts for this recipe, but you can swap these for any other nut of your choice, such as macadamias, cashews, pecans, etc.

When choosing chocolate, you can also choose whichever one you prefer. I like to use a dark variety with at least 70% cocoa solids, but vegan milk chocolate works too.

Make the Chocolates

It really is super easy!

Start by melting the chocolate either on the stove, or microwaving it on medium power for 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, stuff the dried apricots with the hazelnuts.

Then, dip the apricots in the chocolate one by one and leave to set in the fridge for around 30 minutes on a sheet or parchment paper.
