- 3 tbsp butter, chopped
- 2 tbsp liqueur (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Stir on low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Boil 4-5 mins, until syrup has formed.
- Add apricots to syrup and boil a further 4-5 mins, until pulpy. Remove from heat. Stir in cake crumbs, coconut, butter, liqueur and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 20 mins.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate 30 mins.
