Notes
Suggested tools: Food processorand cookie scoop.Freezing apricot balls: Apricot balls don't freeze very well. When defrosted, they lose their soft, dense texture. I suggest making the balls a day or two ahead of time if you plan on serving them at a party.This recipe doubles easily. Roll in to balls right away as the mixture will dry out if left out uncovered.
