Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pitted dried dates
1/2 cup dried black figs, stemmed and halved
1/3 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons dark rum or brandy
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup pecans
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons chopped candied lemon or orange peel
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of salt
Green, red or white sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Combine the dried dates, figs and cranberries in a medium microwave-safe bowl; add 2 tablespoons rum and the butter. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring, until the dried fruit is softened and the butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Toast the pecans in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Combine the graham crackers, crystallized ginger, candied lemon peel, molasses, cinnamon, allspice and salt in a food processor. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon rum, the pecans and the dried-fruit mixture (with any liquid from the bowl). Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and holds together when squeezed. (If the mixture is dry, add a little water just until it holds together.)
  • Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Put the sanding sugar on a plate. Roll the balls in the sugar to coat.

FUDGE BALLS (NO BAKE)



Fudge Balls (No Bake) image

Wonderful little treats, great to take to potlucks (they travel well). I have made these without using the dried fruit, and just with raisins, and they are still wonderful, but even better with the dried fruit!

Categories     Candy

Time 24m

Yield 2 pounds candy

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup finely chopped candied pineapple or 1/2 cup dried apricot

Steps:

  • Combine butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, cook 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly (start timing when mixture starts to bubble around the edges of pan).
  • Remove from heat; add marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla, walnuts, raisins and candied pineapple OR apricots.
  • Stir vigorously for 1 minute (until marshmallows melt and are blended), working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
  • Store in an airtight covered container, in the fridge or out of the fridge.

Tips for Making No-Bake Fruit Balls:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the taste of your fruit balls. Choose ripe, in-season fruits that are sweet and juicy.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create unique and delicious flavor combinations. Some popular combinations include strawberries and bananas, blueberries and raspberries, and peaches and apricots.
  • Add some sweetness: If your fruits are not very sweet, you may want to add a little bit of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to the mixture. This will help to balance out the tartness of the fruit and make the fruit balls more palatable.
  • Make sure the mixture is sticky: The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together when you roll it into balls. If it is too dry, add a little bit more fruit or sweetener. If it is too wet, add a little bit more oats or nuts.
  • Roll the balls in a coating: Once the balls are formed, you can roll them in a variety of coatings, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut. This will add flavor and texture to the balls.

Conclusion:

No-bake fruit balls are a healthy and delicious snack or dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and require no special equipment. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that will please everyone. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give no-bake fruit balls a try!
