I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these candies were still really good. The apricot flavor really balanced out the coconut.

I used dried apricots instead of fresh. The candies were still delicious, but they had a chewier texture.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the coconut. They turned out great!

I had some trouble finding unsweetened coconut flakes so I used sweetened instead. The candies came out a bit too sweet, but they were still tasty.
