An easy Valentine favorite from the archives!
Here’s a delish dish a person with neither time nor culinary skill can pull off in minutes. Homemade candy is such a wonderful treat, so impress your valentine with this effortless, decadent creation.
white chocolate chips
dried apricots
fleur de sel (any sea salt will do, but this is really the best)
Note: there aren’t exact measurements, because this is really just a method. You can make as many as you want.
1. Place the white chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave them for 30 seconds. Stir well and repeat. At between 1-2 minutes you will have a perfectly smooth dipping sauce. For 1 cup of chips it usually take 1 1/2 minutes.
3. Working fairly quickly, dip a dried apricot into the chocolate and swirl, covering half with chocolate. Place it on a piece of parchment paper. If you’re doing a lot and the chocolate starts to harden, microwave for 30 seconds and stir again.
4. While still wet, sprinkle a light dusting of fleur de sel over candy. The sweet-salty contrast is amazing. Place the candies in your refridgerator for 5 minutes to set. It’s best not to sample them if you intend to give them as a gift as they are addictive. Enjoy!
