These look divine! I will give these a go this weekend as I need to make some little treats for my son’s kinder lunches. Thank you so much for sharing.

Also can be made with just dried apricots and coconut. Yum.

I remember buying these from the school canteen back in the 90s.. Is there something I could use instead of the desiccated coconut? I actually can’t stand the texture!

  If these aren’t going to school maybe try ground almonds or some other nuts?

Yummy and easy, even let the 26 year old make them to use up some apricots, now I just have to keep his hand out of the Tupperware container, easy to make, but how do you explain to a 26 year old son with hollow legs that just because he rolled them in coconut that they are not all his!!!!! great recipe

  Oh that’s too funny! Enjoy!

Yum! These sound really good – a bit like the apricot bars I used to buy as a kid!

  You are absolutely right! They do sound similar as I remember eating similar bars.

    You mean Bellis Fruit Bars? They’re still around at the supermarkets, but I think I’d prefer to try this – at least I know what went into them. Wonder how they’d go using sultanas…

These look nice. I have never tried apricot balls just chocolate ones. These will be a bit healthier.

To easy and such a tasty treat.

yum these look great and no condensed milk will definitely be giving these a go
