Those sound great and I have a bag of dried papaya I’ve been wanting to use up. Papaya and coconut sounds good. I am just not into chocolate. I know - shocking.
What is “Roll in conf.”? Confectioner sugar??
Liz, got around to making the apricot/coconut confections today. I thought I had papaya in the pantry but discovered this morning it was dried mango. Made a double batch and they were perfectly easy and yummy! They’ll be in with goodie gifts. Thanks for the recipe.
