This recipe comes from the Jewish Holiday Feasts cookbook and is a recipe for Purim. All times are guesstimates and do not include cool times. These are wonderful as candy or cookies, after dinner or with wine. Kids can help roll up the dough into balls.

These are a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of moisture next time, maybe some milk or yogurt.

These are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These are a great way to use up leftover apricots. I always have a few extra apricots lying around, and these balls are the perfect way to use them up.

I've never been a fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed these balls. The chocolate coating and almond flavor really balance out the tartness of the apricots.
