So I think I may have found what I'm bringing to the recipe group tomorrow: apricot chocolate coins. Basically dried apricots dipped in chocolate. YUMMY! Here is how you achieve this magic.
What you will need:
1. Dried apricots (organic and all-natural work best; also look that it doesn't have harsh preservatives).
2. Dairy Free and Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate chips (it is a bit expensive).
3. Pot for boiling water.
4. Bowl for making a double boiler.
5. Cutting board.
6. A rolling pin.
7. Baking sheet lined with wax paper.
How to:
~ Take the all-natural organic apricots and on the cutting board, flatten the apricot slices with the rolling pin.
~ Make a double boiler, meaning take a pot of boiling water and place another bowl over it, not touching the water on the bottom to the bowl on top. Add to the double boiler your vegan chocolate chips. With a whisk stir the chips until they are completely mixed together and smooth.
~ Take your flattened apricots and dip half of each apricot in the chocolate.
~ On the baking sheet lined with wax paper, place all your chocolate covered apricot coins. Once they are all there place them in the fridge until hardened.
~ And after an hour or so ENJOY!!
These are so delicious and I think they will be a hit; if you are interested on where I got this recipe I got it from the diet and recipe book The Kind Diet, by Alicia Silverstone. She for sure beats to the beat of her own drum, but I love her and the book is amazing!
