Sweets for Sweeties: White Chocolate Dipped Apricots
Prep time:
Total time:
A quick and easy candy you can make in less than 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- white chocolate chips
- dried apricots
- fleur de sel (any sea salt will do, but this is really the best)
Instructions
- 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 1½ minutes.
- 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.
- While still wet, sprinkle a light dusting of fleur de sel over candy. The sweet-salty contrast is amazing. Place the candies in your refrigerator for 5 minutes to set.
Notes
There aren't exact measurements, because this is really just a method. You can make as many as you want.
Enjoy them, Rebecca!

Thank you so much!
Fleur de sel is a gray french sea salt. Gourmet shops carry it and you can even find it at Marshals or Home Goods sometimes.
Sounds delightful, but I don’t know what fleur de sel is or where to find it. Thank you.
