APRICOT TRUFFLES
These rich little apricots balls are more-ish. I challenge you to eat just one. They're very nice in summer when frozen as well. (The serving size is a guess as I haven't made this in several years and it also depends on how big you make the balls. I'll ammend this next time I make them)

APRICOT ALMOND TRUFFLES
This supposed to be a healthy alternative to traditional candy. This recipe uses dried apricots which are high in fiber. Almonds have many health benefits and the dark chocolate has antioxidants. So this is not candy at all - it's healthfood! Recipe adapted from Ellie Krieger.

Steps:
- Place apricots, cranberries and orange zest in food processor. Pulse until fruit is chpped and forms a large ball. Form fruit mixture into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. In a saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate. Drizzle one heaping teaspoon of melted chocolate over each fruit ball. Allow chocolate to harden, refrigerating if necessary.
Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh apricots. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your truffles.
- Don't over-process the apricots. You want them to retain some of their texture, so pulse them in a food processor or blender until they are finely chopped, but not pureed.
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your truffles.
- Be patient when dipping the truffles. It takes a little practice to get the hang of it, but with a little patience, you'll be able to create beautiful, evenly coated truffles.
- If you don't have time to make the truffles right away, you can store the apricot mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just be sure to thaw the mixture completely before using it.
Conclusion:
Apricot truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these elegant and flavorful truffles that are sure to impress your friends and family.
