Ingredients

1 lb. dried Turkish apricots
1 lb. dark chocolate
Foil candy wrappers

Instructions

Using a heavy mallet, flatten apricots to 1/4 inch thick; set aside. Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring vigorously with a rubber spatula and scraping down sides in between, until just melted (chocolate should be no warmer than 86 degrees F).
Dip each apricot in chocolate, coating evenly. Transfer to wire racks set over parchment paper; let stand until set.
Transfer apricots to baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 25 minutes. Wrap in foil wrappers. Gelt can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Apricot Gelt that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
