Sugar Plums

Tuesday Dec 4, 2007

This kid-friendly treat is a beautiful jewel on a plate of homemade cookies, and is so full of fruit and nuts it could practically count as a serving of fruit.

  • 1 C dried dates
  • 1 C golden raisins
  • 1/2 C dried cranberries
  • 1/2 C dried apricots
  • 1 Tbsp Orange Juice
  • 1/2 C white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 C walnut pieces
  • Granulated sugar

In a food processor, place dates, raisins, cranberries and apricots. Pulse several times until fruits are well chopped. Add Orange Juice to help with mixing.

Add white chocolate and nuts to mixture. Pulse a few more times until mixture has a slightly chunky consistency.

Roll mixture into 1″ balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar.

Serve in individual candy cups. Makes about 40 sugar plums.
