My good friend Karly asked me if I had any recommendations for some yummy homemade vegan holiday treats. This is quick, easy, delicious, and practically macro if you find the right chocolate ;)
Chocolate-Apricot Coins
 |
| Wrap them each individually them in a gift bag, or to make them extra fancy put them in those mini cupcake/muffin liners and then arrange them nicely in a tin box. |
2 cups grain-sweetened, nondairy chocolate or carob chips
1/4 cup maple syrup (optional) 20 dried Turkish apricots, pounded into 1/4 inch flat rounds
20 raw almonds, or other nut
Place chips and syrup (if you are using, i found that it does not need it so try it without first) in the top of a double boiler and place over pot of simmering water. If you don't have double boiler place stainless steel bowl or glass bowl over boiling water and melt ingredients. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit until chocolate melts, 5-10 mins. While chocolate melts, use rolling pin or bottle to pound apricots to an even 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the apricots in the melted chocolate, place a raw almond in the center, and let chill on parchment or wax paper in refrigerator until hardened.
