Make it half a can of condensed milk and 50 g of butter and it will work out perfectly. But if that doesn't work I recommend more dried apricots or malt biscuits.

Gail Linley

What a pity I did not read the reviews! Far too wet to roll and I had to turn into a slice thingyIn future I will stick to making Chelsea Sugar tested recipes.Have a very peaceful & safe Christmas all of you at Chelsea Sugar, from Gail in Far North Qsld, Australia.

Rachael

More like Lolly cake than apricot balls - in both taste & texture. Mix too sloppy to set into balls so misleading Recipe :( Won't be making again unless we want to make lolly cake.

Elisabeth Goodwin

I made a lot of adjustments. Used wine biscuits rather than malt, added a splash of brandy, and you must let the mix set in the fridge before rolling.

Diana Coleman

Perfect little christmas treats ... so quick and easy

These apricot balls are a real hit with my family and I am making my 3rd lot since Xmas. Very easy and the I think the recipe is perfect, although I added more apricots. The malt biscuits were a 250gram pack and the mix was not sloppy. Thank you Flyer for a great recipe.

I love this recipe!

Bev

The ingredients were all out of proportion. The mixture was way to sloppy. I had to add a whole 250 fm apricot and another half a packet of biscuits to make it easier to roll. The first balls just flattened out. Won't be using this again.

....

It was fun to make i make one mixture and it was way to sloppy so i did another one and added coconut into my mixture and it was better i recommend adding more biscuits or coconut in the mixture!.

Michelle

Yes I agree, I wish I'd read the reviews too! Far too sloppy to even contemplate rolling, not sure what I'm going to do with this mess...

Method

This is a very EASY recipe which doesn't need the oven, it just needs the ol' fridge to refrigerate. It is important to refrigerate the balls for 20-30 minutes as it does have an effect.

First get out a saucepan and turn on the stove top to just under medium. Set out a food processor.

Put butter, golden syrup and can of condensed milk in saucepan and reduce the heat to low so it can melt slowly.

Place malt biscuits in food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed.

With a spoon, slowly stir the butter, golden syrup and can of condensed milk until melted. Add the processed malt biscuits and apricots to the saucepan and mix together well.

Roll into small balls and roll in coconut. Lastly, refrigerate for for 20 - 30 minutes until set, then serve!

This mixture makes 20-25 balls.
