I've been making apricot balls for years at the holidays, this is the first time I've used the food processor - how easy!! Will use this method for apricot balls again. They keep well in the fridge. Rolled mine in the coconut, probably should have chopped in finely first as it didn't stick as much as I would have liked it to. -
I couldn't believe how easy this was! Hubby LOVES them! We will serve them at our party tonight (which is a "balls" theme lol). :) Thanks for this great, easy recipe! -
These are excellent! I made them several times for holiday, low cal snacks...very popular. I used grated coconut instead of flaked, and rolled some in finely grated coconut..good results. I also substituted dried cranberries for apricots...also great. -
This is very close to a summer confection made by "FANNIE FARMER" but instead of rolling in something, they were dipped in white chocolate. -
Yummy little balls of goodness! I rolled mine in coconut and thoroughly enjoyed them! Thanks Kitten!
