Even worse than plain dried mango... Definitely one for the Christmas present list.
Last Christmas I made some chocolate apricots for a friend - dried apricots stuffed with a little marzipan and dipped in dark chocolate. I managed to give most of them away...

Still - a lot better than any of that Nestle or Cadbury stuff that one always gets given!

Prunes, soaked in brandy, stuffed with an almond (or marzipan) and coated in dark chocolate.

Ah yes - I think prunes are seriously underrated, anyway! I see we think along the same lines...Green Aura wrote:Prunes, soaked in brandy, stuffed with an almond (or marzipan) and coated in dark chocolate.
(My friend doesn't like alcohol, though - so that would be one I'd be forced to eat on my own...
