A healthy snack, they taste good and are quick and easy to make - the kids could make their own  I had no wheatgerm so used 2 tblspns oatbran instead.  They have a softish centre and I keep mine in the fridge.

Blimey Judy you have been a busy cooking today.These look good Mind you so did the cookies and Hash Browns

Now I have to find someone to help me eat them CC, perhaps I can take some to the nursing home for our visitors.  I was reading the book whilst Geoff was having a big nap and in the end I had to go home and start cooking

I'm sure the staff at the nursing home will help you eat them too

I was going to make these today too, but.....DH had found the orange juice and it was ALL gone.    Will get some more tomorrow.

Astarra my recipe for apricot balls on here doesn't use orange juice and has no sugar. You could try them instead.

Made these yesterday. Didnt have wheatgerm so used flaxmeal. Not too sweet and soft enough for my almost 1yo to eat. Definitely will keep these in the fridge for a quick snack. Love that I can take a few of these to work if I get a 3pm sugar craving!!

I made these on the weekend for a 2 year birthday party I went to, they were a winner & amongst all the cakes & lollies a good option.  Very easy & quick to make.

Made these with DD tonight. Didn't have any orange juice so I didn't use any, they were still yummy and will be making them again!

I made these this week for DH lunchbox & instead of using store bought OJ just squeeze my own. Nice snack for any age.

Your posting reminded me that I still had some of the batch I made almost 2 months ago in the fridge kmw - still as nice as the day I made them

About to have a couple with coffee

Mmm. I can't stop eating them... Each time I've walked past the fridge I've just had to try them again to make sure they are still okay
I'm embarrassed to say how many I have left.

Love your photo Jamberie. Very professional looking.

I made these tonight and my toddler saw me making them so she brought a chair over to get up to the bench and ask for one. She happily ate it and then asked for 'more'. She also used one of the balls I gave her to copy me making them.

I bought wheatgerm specifically for this recipe as I had not used it before. I think it's in there due to all the goodness in it. Didn't have OJ so just substitued another spoon of water.

Personally, they were not sweet enough for me but that didn't stop me and the others gobbling them down. They do look good and I think if I had the other darker organic apricots they would be nicer.
