Joyco Dried Apricots in Chocolate with Walnuts, 150 g

Combining dried fruit, nuts and chocolate has a long tradition in the Caucasus – in regions with a warm climate and abundant harvests of apricots, peaches or plums, fruit has been dried for centuries to last through the winter. Producers such as Grand Candy have paired this tradition with modern confectionery technology: dried apricots are filled with nuts and fully coated in chocolate, creating a sweet that combines three distinct textures and flavours at once – the gently sweet, firm flesh of the apricot, the crunch of walnuts and the smoothness of chocolate.

Apricots are among the most popular dried fruits precisely because of their natural sweetness and pronounced flavour, which pairs well with both darker chocolate and nuts.
