These balls were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

The balls didn't hold together very well. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

These coconut apricot balls were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

?? These coconut apricot balls were a tropical delight! ?? The combination of sweet coconut and tangy apricots was a perfect balance. I also loved the texture, which was chewy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. ?
