Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp raw coconut oil
- 4 tbsp raw or dry roasted pistachios chopped fine
- 24 large dried apricots
Instructions
Melting Chocolate
- Fill a saucepan with 1 inch water.
- Put finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl that will fit over pan without the bottom of the bowl touching the water.
- Remove the bowl. Bring water to a boil, set bowl over pan
- Use a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon to stir the chocolate frequently and encourage even melting.

Making the Apricots
- Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
