Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Put the chocolate and coconut oil, if using, in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high for one minute. Let sit for another minute, and then stir. Put the chocolate back in for more 15 second bursts until the chocolate is completely melted and silky. Don't over-heat or the chocolate may 'seize' up into a solid mass. Let the heat in the bowl do the final melting, while you stir.
  3. Dip each apricot half-way into the chocolate and set on the parchment paper. Put the tray in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
  4. You can store the dipped apricots in the refrigerator, or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can dip other dried fruits like figs and pears.  Look for soft, pliable dried fruit for the best result.
  • Serve a bowl of warm melted chocolate and let everybody dip their own fruit, fondue style.  Provide thin bamboo skewers for easy dipping.  You can use fresh fruit for this, too, like sliced bananas, orange segments, apple and pear slices, etc.
