For the Recipe

Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk- 1 bar
Kimia Dates- 15 pcs
Dried Apricots- 8 pcs
Pistachios- for garnish

Directions

Slit the dates from the center and deseed them, but make sure you don't slice them all the way through.

Cut the apricots into halves. If the apricots are too hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes first, pat dry them with a paper towel and then slice them into halves.

Stuff the apricot pieces into each date and freeze them for 15 minutes.

Chop the pistachios into tiny pieces and set aside.

Line a baking tray with butter paper and set aside.
To coat the dates in chocolate, make sure you have the dates, melted chocolate, pistachios and the parchment lined tray all on the table next to each other.

Chop the Cadbury Silk into tiny pieces.

Place the Silk in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 10 seconds, then stirring it, and then popping it in the microwave again. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted.
