• 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

1. Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
2. Process almonds in a food processor, pulsing until coarsely chopped; add apricots, honey, cinnamon, ginger, and salt processing until everything is finely chopped and sticks together, about 45 seconds.
3. Using your hands roll mixture into round balls (about a heaping teaspoon each) and place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
4. Melt half the chocolate in a double boiler; stir in remaining chocolate, stirring to melt.
5. Roll balls in chocolate to coat and place back on baking sheet.
