I can use Elaine's basic recipe on page 132 of BTVC and add other stuff like

coconut,

raisins etc.

I make truffle balls by putting dates and almonds through my Omega 8002 juicer,

adding

a little honey and pressing a nut half in or rolling them in coconut.

I make my own Diva's Fab Fudge from the UCLBS site.

I make Lass' Easter candy which is out of this world and tastes like

" Butterfinger. "

I love the " Quick Granola Cookies " recipe from Lucy's Kitchen cookbook. I think

they would almost fall into the category you're looking at, because they contain

pecans (or walnuts), raisins, coconut, honey, a little butter and a bit of

vanilla... all ground together in the food processer. They are rolled into

balls, flatened slightly, then baked for just a short time, but really wouldn't

need to be, since there's no egg in them. They are WONDERFUL and really easy to

make. They get me through a chocoholic attack. I can't post the recipe

exactly, because it would be copyrighted by Lucy.... but her cookbook is worth

it's weight in gold just for this recipe alone.

Carol,

Can you share how you make dried fruit and nut treats free of illegals? I

need some " nonperishable " treats to have at school and daycare that my son

will eat.

Thank you,
