These Three Ingredient Apricot and Coconut Balls are SO EASY to make and are a great recipe to make with the kids.  They are also the perfect sweet treat to enjoy after dinner when you are craving a sugar hit – please tell me I’m not the only one who craves this!?

This is a really simple recipe to make and is simple enough for the bigger kids to make themselves.  My little guys had a great time mixing the ingredients together and rolling it into balls, although they did become more interested in licking the sticky mixture off their fingers (and arms, shirt, face…) then actually making the Apricot and Coconut Balls after a little while.

I like to cut the dried apricot pieces into fairly big chunks, however you can easily cut them into small pieces if you prefer.  This recipe makes around 24 Apricot and Coconut Balls, however you can easily make more or less if you prefer by adjusting the size of the balls.

We recently made these to share with some friends while celebrating our little man’s fourth birthday and they were a huge hit with the kids – and adults too! It was a super hot day so I popped these into the freezer for half an hour to ensure they were super cold (and firm) before taking outside in the heat to enjoy.
