Hoping someone can help me . I was given as a teacher gift some really yummy uncooked bliss type balls made with apricots dates and puffed rice and rolled in coconut. They were yummo. I can't seem to find a recipe online for them. I thought they were a type of uncooked Bumblebee recipe. They were called Burt's/Bert's Balls. Looking forward to your replies. Cheers

My mother used to make what she called nightingales. When I’ve made them, I’ve cut back on the sugar because they’re quite sweet. They don’t have apricots, but i would think you could add some dried, chopped apricots, or substitute for some of the dates.
Nightingales 1 cup sugar 1 cup chopped dates 2 eggs 1 t vanilla essence 3 cups rice bubbles coconut
In a saucepan combine, dates, sugar and eggs. Stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken and sugar dissolves. Take off heat. Add vanilla essence and rice bubbles to hot mix. Place coconut on a tray or dinner plate. Dip teaspoon in water, then gather spoonful of date mix. Mould into a ball shape then coat in coconut. Chill in fridge until set.
