While prunes are traditional for the bite-size Greek treats, you can substitute apricots, dates or dried figs, or play with the flavor by using rum, cognac, amaretto or cherry liqueur in place of the whiskey.

Fill each pocket with walnuts and press gently to seal the edges. Place the prunes in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour whiskey over them. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature overnight. Occasionally, gently rearrange the prunes in the liquid so they soak uniformly. Melt chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water. Dip each prune in the chocolate, using two forks to roll it around. Lift each prune out with a fork and shake so excess chocolate drips off. After a couple of shakes, gently hit the back of the fork on the rim of the bowl. (You only want a fine layer of chocolate covering each fruit after it firms up.) Place each prune on parchment paper and let cool until the chocolate sets, about 1 hour. (Alternatively, refrigerate until the chocolate has set.) To make ahead Refrigerate for up to 2 months.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
