Candies
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Apricots in chocolate are quite expensive in stores. Yet, you can easily make these candies at home, adding your imagination to make them even more interesting. To make "Apricots in Chocolate" candies, choose large apricots—this gives you more room to experiment with the filling. The candies turn out especially delicious with walnuts or marzipan, as in our case. I always use dark chocolate, adding a bit of white chocolate to make it sweeter. The finished dessert is ready to be served.
Instructions

Step 1
Rinse the apricots, but do not soak them, so they don't become too soft.

Step 2
Open each apricot and fill it with marzipan; don't overdo it, otherwise the marzipan will squeeze out later. I use a knife to open the apricots.
