Chocolate, you say?  But of course, everything in moderation!

Researchers have discovered that eating moderate amounts of flavanol-rich dark chocolate has a blood-thinning effect, which can benefit cardiovascular health, and it may also boost the immune system by reducing inflammation.

So why not chocolate with fruit??  Like apricots, which are full of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and fiber.
Chocolate covered apricots
Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar
2 strips lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup water
24 dried apricots, (about 1/4 pound)
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped peeled pistachios

Preparation

   1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place a wire rack on top.
   2. Combine sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon stick and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes. Add apricots and gently simmer just until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the apricots with a slotted spoon to the rack. Let cool completely.
   3. Melt chocolate in a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Dip half of a poached apricot in the chocolate, letting excess drip off. Sprinkle some chopped pistachios over the chocolate half and return the apricot to the rack. Repeat with the remaining apricots. (You will have some melted chocolate left over.) Refrigerate until the chocolate has set, about 20 minutes.

Store in an airtight container, with wax paper between each layer, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
