Steps:
- Cut slit into the side of each California Prune and stuff with small piece or portion of filling as desired. Pinch to close; shape to form round shape. Set aside.
- Place chocolate in a small heatproof bowl, set in a pot of hot (not boiling) water over low heat; allow to melt, stirring occasionally until smooth. (Chocolate should be fluid and barely warm.) Remove from heat. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper. Using a fork, dip prunes, 1 at a time, into chocolate; drain excess. Place on prepared baking sheet; decorate with toppings, as desired. Refrigerate immediately until set.
- When the chocolate has hardened, transfer to jars or containers for gift-giving. Store, covered, in a cool place, away from direct sun or heat.
- Tip: Melted white chocolate can be drizzled over chocolate-dipped prunes before adding toppings if desired.

WALNUT-STUFFED CHOCOLATE-COVERED PRUNES.
This is much nicer than it sounds. It is an elegant and attractive sweet to serve after a dinner and I make it every Easter as it is vegan or 'nistissimo' as the Greeks say. Note that the preparation time is just an estimate.

Steps:
- Slit prunes with a small sharp knife and remove the stones.
- Place pitted prunes in a small bowl and cover them with the cognac and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Open up each prune and insert a walnut half and then press it closed again. The cut sides should stick together and the walnut be completely enclosed.
- Repeat with all prunes.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler and dip each stuffed prune into the melted chocolate with a pair of tongs.
- Place onto a foil-lined tray and sprinkle with remaining walnuts that have been finely chopped.
- Allow to set at room temperature (avoid refrigeration as it takes away the glossy finish and makes them look dull).
- Each piece can be put into a pleated paper cup for an attractive presentation.
- Dried apricots can be substituted for prunes but they are a little drier and harder to stuff.
