Got the idea of these from a Real Simple magazine several years ago. I don't have the chance to make them often, but they're really very good when I get one before my father eats them.
Ingredients:
1 bag dried apricots blended/chopped/otherwise murdered
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Chocolate chips (optional)
Extra sugar and nutmeg (optional)
Directions:
Blend the apricots, sugar, and nutmeg until as smooth as you can get it. Roll them into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and stick in the fridge to harden (About 1 hour)
Coating options:
Chocolate-melt chocolate by placing chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until smooth chocolate forms. Dip 1/2 of the apricot balls in the chocolate and set on a waxed cookie sheet to harden.
Sugar/nutmeg-mix together sugar and nutmeg to your taste preference in a large flat-bottomed bowl. Roll balls in the mix
No matter which coating option you chose, they're cute in mini muffin cups.
