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 give your truffles the best flavor and texture.
- Pit and chop the apricots before using them. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to do this.
- Be careful not to over-process the apricots. You want them to be smooth, but not too mushy.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for the coating. This will make a big difference in the taste of your truffles.
- Temper the chocolate before dipping the truffles. This will help the chocolate to set properly and give it a smooth, shiny finish.
- Chill the truffles before serving. This will help them to firm up and make them easier to eat.
