I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coconut balls turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These coconut balls were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would add a little bit more butter or oil next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tart fruit to balance out the sweetness.
