Chocolate Covered Sugar Plums

Prep Time 20 minutes    Cook Time 10 minutes     Serves 24

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chopped toasted sliced almonds, chopped roasted peanuts, toasted flaked coconut or candy decors
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
24 pitted dried plums (prunes)

Directions

Line baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper; set aside. Place almonds on large plate; set aside. Melt chocolate in small heatproof bowl, set over simmering water, stirring occasionally. (Chocolate should be fluid and barely warm.) Using fork, dip each dried plum into chocolate; drain excess. Roll in toppings, as desired. Place on prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until set. When chocolate has hardened, transfer to jars or containers for gift-giving. Store, covered, in cool place, away from direct sun or heat.

Tip: To toast almonds, arrange in even layer on baking sheet. Bake in 350°F oven 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
