Milk chocolate dipped apricots, a Compartés staple for over seventy years. Gorgeous full California apricots, farmers market fresh, generously covered in the world's best milk chocolate. California sunshine in every single bite, and the perfect gift for the milk chocolate devoted.
I was worried the apricots would be chewy little dried nubs, but these are plump and almost jammy inside. The milk chocolate is sweeter than dark would be, which sounds like it'd clash, yet it somehow lets the fruit's tang cut right through. Ate four before I even put the bag away.
The milk chocolate shell is thick enough to actually crack when you bite in, and the apricot inside is tangy and soft, not dried-out like the ones from the grocery store. I've been keeping the box in the fridge and eating two after dinner, which is becoming a problem.
The apricots are actually whole and plump, not those sad little dried bits you usually get. Milk chocolate is thick enough that you get a real snap when you bite in, and the tartness cuts through it perfectly. Gone through half the box already.
