    I didn't have cherries so used dried cranberries. No coconut oil so used sesame oil but reduced it to just 1 spoonful. They are actually quite delicious and just 1 can satisfy my afternoon sweet craving.

    These are great rolled in dessicated coconut rather than sesame seeds!

    I used some crystalised papaya and ginger instead of the cherries, rolled them in dessicated coconut and ate them straight from the freezer, yum. I had to chop them by had before my processor would entertain them, but I used cheaper dried apricats and dates.

    is there any alternative to coconut oil that would also work?
