Preparation

Step 1

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Chop the apricots, almonds and raisins very fine or whiz them in a food processor.
Melt white chocolate. Then stir in chopped fruit, almonds and coconut,
Gather together about 18 bits of the mixture to form intosmall balls. Put the balls on the cookie sheet and let them set for 1 to 2 hours.
If mixture seems runny at first, chocolate may have been overheated; wait for mixture to cool and it will gather together more easily to'be rolled into balls.
Other add -in options include cornflakes, rice cereal, chopped
dried fruit to taste. Drizzle balls with additional melted white chocolate, if desired.
