Chocolate-Covered Plums

The smaller the pieces, the more evenly the chocolate will melt.

Make sure no water or steam gets into the chocolate, otherwise it can seize and become grainy.

Use a fork or skewer to dip them so the plums are evenly coated.

Unsalted pistachios work best if you want the chocolate plums to stay sweet.

Allow them to dry in a cool place so the chocolate sets quickly and develops a nice shine.

Place parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.
