Fruit & Nut Balls Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: http://www.joyofbaking.com/candy/FruitAndNutBalls.html Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Fruit and Nut Balls. Fruit and Nut Balls, or you may know them as Sugarplums, are made with a variety of pureed dried fruits and nuts held together with a little honey (golden syrup or corn syrup) and a splash of alcohol (or fruit juice). I think what makes them so tempting is all the ways they can be decorated. You can roll them in different sugars (white, brown, or powdered), unsweetened cocoa powder, dried sweetened or unsweetened coconut, grated chocolate, and/or finely chopped nuts. But I must admit that my favorite way is to dip them in melted dark chocolate as I love the combination of dried fruits, nuts, and chocolate. They store very well, and while perfect for Christmas giving, they also make an excellent snack to take along on picnics or hikes when you need a quick boost of energy.
