Delicious. BUT! These are a sticky, gooey mess that's impossible to roll into balls if the recipe is followed. I wish I had read the reviews, but I printed the recipe years ago and was working from it. Entirely too much condensed milk! I had to double the coconut, and still had to refrigerate before making into very soft balls. I am disappointed in this recipe for these reasons, but the flavor is great. I added 1/4 tsp almond extract to enhance the apricot flavor. This is not enough liquid to make these as gooey as they are. Just add 1/2 the amount of condensed milk then add the rest only as needed.

Very yummy and easy! I chopped apricots, california figs, and sliced almonds in a blender, and mixed it all with some of the coconut and just enough condensed milk to make it stick. Then I rolled it in chopped almonds/coconut for a slightly crunchy exterior - they're super sweet so I didn't add any sugar. And they definitely taste better cold :)

Love all the thing separately, but apparently not together. Sorry!

So easy and a welcomed addition to my annual array of Christmas goodies! I made the recipe exactly as shown, but added some graham cracker crumbs (about 1/4 cup) to the mixture to make it a bit more workable, and I have to say it was delicious cut the sweetness a bit. I rolled them very small (1/3 inch)and then rolled half in coconut, and the other half in graham cracker crumbs to add a bit of variety.

These were delicious!! i was a bit unsure about the amount of condensed milk, so just added a bit at a time until the mixture seemed right - i'm so glad i didn't pour the whole can in!! otherwise fantastic.

The canned milk made this recipe runny. I think the next time I make this recipe will use only half of the canned milk. and cut the brown sugar in half. It is quite sweet.
