Chocolate Dipped Apricots

I had an urge for chocolate and had nothing in the house (good for me).  I decided to dip some dried apricots into melted chocolate.  These are easy to make and delicious. Ingredients: 15 dried apricots 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips Method: In microwave, place chocolate chips in a glass measuring cup or small bowl.  Run on half speed, checking every 30 seconds.  Mine melted in one minute.  When chocolate is soft enough to mix into a smooth and glistening chocolate, remove and mix until smooth and creamy. Dip apricot into melted chocolate and place on  wax paper on a plate.  Place plate in refrigerator to set.  Take out and eat and have a delightful treat.
