Very simple, easy recipe. I used a food processor to chop the apricots, then used the mixing blade to mix in the coconut and condensed milk. Rolled them in dessicated coconut rather than icing sugar. Perfect. -
The response depended on the person. I thought it was too sweet, though I used sweetened coconut. Most people didn't think it was too sweet. It was a good combination of flavors, though. -
Very nice! Instead of powdered sugar, I rolled them in finely-chopped pecans (the sweetened condensed milk made them plenty sweet anyhow). It took about 1 1/2 cups to coat one batch. -
very easy and nice! -
Very easy, very yummy! followed the directions and they came out perfect.
