Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for greasing cookie sheet
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup thinly sliced dried apricots
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Grease a rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil. In a small bowl, toss together the almonds, chocolate chips, and apricots. Put them on the baking sheet, spreading them out into an even single layer across the entire baking sheet.
  • In a medium saucepan stir together the sugar and the water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not stir after that. Instead, using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush the sides of the pan a few times to incorporate any sugar that has stuck to the sides of the pan. Continue cooking until the sugar syrup turns golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully pour the caramelized sugar over the nut mixture on the
  • cookie sheet. Also, be careful not to move the cookie sheet after the sugar has been poured. The baking sheet will be very hot in the beginning. Let cool for at least 2 hours.
  • Break the brittle into pieces and place on a serving dish.

Time 20m

Yield 25 to 30 sweets

1 pound dried apricots
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
1 tablespoon hazelnut or orange-flavored liqueur
Confectioners' sugar for dredging
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • In a food processor chop fine the apricots and hazelnuts and mix in enough of the liqueur to hold the mixture together. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls, roll the balls lightly in the sugar, and let them stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 24 hours.
  • In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until it is smooth and remove it from the heat. Coat half of each ball with the chocolate, letting the excess drip off and wiping the underside of the ball gently against the side of the double boiler. Chill the balls on a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper until the chocolate has hardened.
  • The confections keep, chilled, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
