Coconut Fruit Balls image

Healthy little treats for people with sweet tooths. I've made these during the holiday season to bring to functions and was enjoyed by all. I'm really finicky on getting all the dried fruit the same size so it took me a little longer then 20 mins to put this recipe together.

1/2 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried dates, finely chopped

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Finely chopped sultanas, dates and apricots and place them in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Add cinnamon and mix well.
  • Add enough condensed milk (roughly a tablespoon) to make it sticky so the fruit sticks together more easily.

  • Store in refrigerator until your ready to use.
