Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy apricots. This will ensure that your bites are flavorful and moist.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the apricots. This will make it easier to mix them with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the apricots by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the apricot mixture. This will help to balance out the tartness of the apricots and make the bites more enjoyable.
  • Be careful not to overmix the apricot mixture. Overmixing will make the bites tough.
  • Form the apricot mixture into balls and then roll them in coconut flakes. This will give the bites a nice texture and flavor.
  • Chill the apricot bites for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
