Tips to make the best recipe.

• If you don’t have time to shape small bites out of the apricot mixture, simply add them to a parchment paper-lined pan. Equalize the mixture and press it into the pan. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and refrigerate until firm. Once curdled, cut into squares and enjoy.
• To change up the texture of these morsels, add finely chopped dried apricots to the apricot mixture once you’ve blended it.
• Skip the sugar and add pitted dates to the apricot mixture to sweeten it. The dates will sweeten the bites and add hints of caramel flavor.
• Mix in some dried mango to create a richer fruity flavor.
• Add chia seeds and sunflower seeds to the mix for a nutritional boost. Soak the chia seeds ahead of time.
