I am not going to give these stars because I don't follow a raw diet. I thought these tasted a bit strange and they didn't stick together as good as I would have hoped. However, if I was on a raw diet, I might very well think these were amazing!!! I did swap out dried pineapple and dried peaches for the apricots and instead of sultanas, I used dried cranberries and half raisins. Thanks for posting!

Loved these! Great flavour, easy to make and healthy, too. :) I didnt roll the balls in coconut but instead included it in the cereal mixture. Like little said, some chopped nuts or seeds would be a great addition.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Mandy!
