Dice the dried apricots finely, put in a bowl, and mix well with apricot brandy, nuts, sugar, and chocolate.

If the mixture becomes too firm, add a tablespoon more of brandy.

Cut approximately ½ oz (20 g) pieces off and form balls.

Melt the dark chocolate until it is lukewarm.

Put a little chocolate in the palm of your hand and roll the balls between your palms to coat with chocolate.

Immediately roll them in the chopped hazelnuts and let dry.

Place in paper candy cups.
