Yum!!! What a little treat! I love dry fruit and coconut so these were perfect for me. I like they are healthy and good for you! I used cranberry instead of sultana, add bit a more condensed milk. I made 15 little balls. Perfect after workout as it gives instant energy. Definitely keeper and I am not sharing these little goodies with anyone! :) Made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap November 2011. Thank you so much Chef floWer!

Very, very tasty little balls! They are intensely fruity with a nice coconut touch and lots of addiction potential. YUM! The cinnamon is great in these, too! I used a mix of dried apple rings, pineapple and apricot in place of just the apricot. Also I could not find sweetened condensed milk anywhere (its not popular here), so I used water instead (2 tbs). That worked out well. I ended up with exactly 15 mini balls that were gone pretty fast.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Chef floWer! <br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap November 2011.
