A New, Yummy, Healthy Recipe

I think I'm in love with these.  I pulled out an old magazine the other day that had a recipe in it which  I make about every five years.

Later as I flipped through it I came across a recipe I had never tried, but which actually sounded good.  On my next grocery shopping trip I picked up the ingredients and whipped it together.

Absolutely delicious!  Thought you may agree.

Orange Fruit Balls

3 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (one box, crushed)
1 cup finely chopped dried fruits
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup thawed frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup corn syrup
Sifted icing sugar

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except icing sugar.  Mix well until all ingredients are moistened.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in icing sugar.  Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 50.
