Ingredients
  

  • 100 g chopped dates
  • 100 g chopped dried apricots
  • 110 g chopped mixed nuts
  • 60 g glace cherry halves
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp edible glitter

Instructions
 

  • Blitz together all the ingredients apart from the sugar and glitter for a few seconds until roughly mixed and sticking together.
  • Dust a board and your hands with the icing sugar. Take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll into a ball in your hands, then roll in the icing sugar until coated. Repeat until all the mixture has been used. Then roll in the glitter - I used silver, but you can use any colour you like!
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve - they will keep in the fridge in Tupperware containers for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Substitute the fruit for any dried fruit, make sure it's chopped up before processing.
