This is a dangerous time of the month for me. Candy everywhere! Normally we just grab a few boxes of the full sized candy bars from Costco to pass out to the few trick or treaters that we get on our court, and that's bad enough keeping them in the house untouched until Halloween. But, we decided that our business was going to participate in the city's police department trick or treat event this year too, so that meant I had to buy and resist the temptation to eat any of the 4,000 pieces of additional candy sitting in my pantry. If you know me, you know that my sweet tooth is unmatched so the restraint is killing me. In an effort to be good though, I figured I could make a sweet treat to hold myself off until every last piece of the stash is passed out to the kids in our community. Thankfully I found a recipe for these Apricot, Almond & Coconut Candies on Golden Blossom Honey and knew that it was just what I needed to keep me on my best behavior until the end of the month. 

 

 

Not only are these candies super easy to make with only 4 ingredients total, they are so much healthier than the processed bagged treats filling the grocery aisles right now. The mixture will be sticky before rolling in the coconut, but I found that instead of dropping by spoonfuls, using a cookie scoop to gather the mixture worked much better. I'd just release from the scoop into the coconut, sprinkle a little more coconut flakes on the top and press slightly into the mixture, then roll it all between my palms for a nice little candy ball. I was able to make right around 20 candies with this recipe, but it could easily be doubled if you wanted to make these for holiday treat boxes instead of snacking on during the Halloween season. 

Ingredients

1 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

12 ounces dried apricots, finely chopped

1 cup blanched almonds, slivered
