Half the mixture went into the balls...the other half well we don't talk about that! Lovely and simple recipe to make with a young child. Made the apricot and cheese balls as well but am leaving them to set overnight, they look like lovely little snowballs.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36094336846132806202012-11-18T23:58:56.884+11:002012-11-18T23:58:56.884+11:00Thanks Jean - have fixed the typo - wrote coconut ...Thanks Jean - have fixed the typo - wrote coconut twice and omitted the cocoaJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-11670909628125405582012-11-18T23:58:16.997+11:002012-11-18T23:58:16.997+11:00Thanks Chele - life is terribly busy right now - s...Thanks Chele - life is terribly busy right now - so much to do and so little time!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-32654263769273560982012-11-18T23:57:43.569+11:002012-11-18T23:57:43.569+11:00Thanks Choclette - very kind - I think To Rome wit...Thanks Choclette - very kind - I think To Rome with Love is the sort of film that would work well on DVD.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-78206924101200623852012-11-18T23:55:57.342+11:002012-11-18T23:55:57.342+11:00Thanks Claire - I think that was yum for each ingr...Thanks Claire - I think that was yum for each ingredient and a yum or two for deliciousness :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-6887130319746594292012-11-18T23:55:27.444+11:002012-11-18T23:55:27.444+11:00Thanks Brydie - amen to that - I rarely eat almond...Thanks Brydie - amen to that - I rarely eat almond butter from the jar which is just as well because the stuff is very addictive (but very good for you, right?)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-70438039207914272782012-11-18T23:53:45.596+11:002012-11-18T23:53:45.596+11:00Thanks Mel - I think Sylvia is a bit shy of nut bu...Thanks Mel - I think Sylvia is a bit shy of nut butters because she isn't spending her life thinking peanut butter is an easy and delicious spread for bread (as I do) - she refused these at first and then warmed up to them - I think peanuts are very distinctive so would be interested to see how you find other nut buttersJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-48241394598928001902012-11-18T23:52:23.774+11:002012-11-18T23:52:23.774+11:00Thanks Lorraine - lucky you to be at an organic ve...Thanks Lorraine - lucky you to be at an organic vegan place - I don't get to go to enough of those sort of placesJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-22160725925278270582012-11-18T23:51:39.741+11:002012-11-18T23:51:39.741+11:00Thanks Katie - I love the almond butter because so...Thanks Katie - I love the almond butter because so many recipes use peanut butter which is off limits for sylvia so I don't tend to bake with itJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40210797849403086302012-11-18T23:51:08.919+11:002012-11-18T23:51:08.919+11:00Thanks Kari - it is a great recipe.

I really need to try some other nut butters, I've gone through my entire life disliking peanut butter so that's put me off trying other varieties.<br /><br />Sounds like a lovely weekend.

They are so wonderfully easy, and it seems they cope well with adaptations to what is on hand (as recipes should). <br /><br />I love dolly's new truck too and it sounds like you had a great weekend all up.
