Tips:

- Use a food processor to finely chop the apricots. This will make it easier to mix them with the other ingredients. - If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the apricots by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely. - Be sure to use unsweetened coconut flakes. Sweetened coconut flakes will make the balls too sweet. - If you don't have unsweetened coconut flakes, you can make your own by toasting unsweetened shredded coconut in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. - Be sure to let the balls cool completely before rolling them in the coconut flakes. This will help the coconut flakes to stick to the balls. - Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
