No Bake Fruit & Nut Balls

[mrsppmrxky]

I love to eat those fruit bars they sell at the health food store, but they are really expensive. ($1.99 for 1 bar) I was wondering if I could make them and found a recipe that I altered to suit my needs.

No Bake Fruit & Nut Balls

2 cups mixed unsulfured dried fruit
1/2 cup nuts (pecans, almonds or walnuts)
2 TB. cocoa or carob powder 2 TB honey
4 TB gf peanut butter (or other nut butter) finely crushed gf rice cereal

In a food processor, chop the fruit and nuts. Mix in all other ingredients except the cereal. Process until it balls up. Press dough into balls about 1 inch diameter (or, whatever size or shape you want!).

Roll into cereal to coat. Makes about 4 dozen 1 inch balls.
