Melt That Chocolate
Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Yummmm
Prepare Your Surface
Place a sheet of wax paper over a large cutting board or baking sheet
Dip!
Dip about half of each apricot in the melted chocolate and place on the wax paper. If you have nuts, roll the dipped apricot in the finely chopped nuts before resting it on the wax paper. Be generous with the chocolate =)
If you have leftover chocolate, search your pantry for other items to make candy with - I used almonds and dried cranberries

Chill Out
Place the chocolate covered apricots in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This will help the chocolate set.
Eat!
