*Marli*'s Note:

Just try to keep these sweet confectionery for 48 hours before serving like the recipe says! From the Australian cookbook "How to cook a Galah".

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.
