Ingredients

  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (that’s one cup of chips)
  • 2 Tablespoons apricot jam
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • Note: If the apricot jam has big pieces of apricots, cut them into smaller pieces before you measure out the jam. You can also simply pick them out and only use the clear part of the jam.

Directions

  1. Place the 3 ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.

  2. Take the chocolate mixture out of the microwave and stir the contents smooth.

  3. Tear off a piece of waxed paper and place it on a piece of cardboard or a cookie sheet right next to the chocolate mixture.

  4. Use a quarter-teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the chocolate mixture. Scrape it out of the spoon with your impeccably clean finger and drop it onto the waxed paper in little mounds. If it spreads out too much and won’t mound, let it cool for a minute or two longer.

  5. Refrigerate the Chocolate Apricot Surprises.
