This recipe arrived in my inbox - geez how many recipe sites do I belong too?! - anyway it had dried apricots in it! That immediately sparked my interest and then it mentioned Chocolate - ummmm that was it! I printed it out and I was on a mission. :)
What else was I meant to do - dried apricots (love) + chocolate (love) a match made in heaven and I was NOT disappointed at the end result. Neither were the rest of the family and friends that helped me eat them!

Cathy says
I had some leftover condensed milk (how??) so made these for hubby - he likes white chocolate. I didn't have any oranges on hand so I used 2 drops of DoTerra Wild Orange oil. yum.
thermofun says
Cathy I would like to know how you had left over as well! Totally unheard of in this house!
Janet Willoughby says
I love this recipe. I make it with cream cheese instead of condensed milk. I've also made it with dried cherries, and it tastes amazing :-) xxx
thermofun says
Oh that sounds delicious as well Janet - on the must try list :D
Amanda says
These gorgeous balls were just perfect to add to Christmas gift packs. I also made some with dried cranberries in place of the apricots and they were delicious. Great work Leonie :-)
thermofun says
Thanks Amanda, oh dried cranberries - must try that!
Darra says
Yum! These are great! Mine had extra orange as I decided to peel a whole orange in instead of stopping at one teaspoon. Definitely follow the tip about chilling before rolling - made it much easier.
thermofun says
Thank you Darra. :)
Janet Willoughby says
These are amazeballs. And so quick and easy to make. I have also made them with cream cheese instead of condensed milk, as I wanted to use the leftover half a packet I had from making the caramel crown balls. I was told they were the best ever. Thanks Leonie for another favourite recipe :-)
thermofun says
Thanks Janet. Cream cheese does work well too! :)
