Chocolate-Dipped Dried Fruit Bites

* such as apricots, figs, peaches, pears and/or pineapple

Melt 4 ounces chocolate in a double boiler over hot water (or in a microwave on low in 30-second bursts). Stir often to ensure even melting.

Remove the top pan and wipe dry (or remove the bowl from the microwave). Stir in the remaining chocolate, in 2 additions, until thoroughly melted and smooth.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Dip each piece of dried fruit halfway into the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place on the wax paper.

When all the fruit is dipped, refrigerate until the chocolate has set, at least 15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
