What a great recipe--it's the perfect guilt-free alternative to chocolate truffles!! The prunes, dates, raisins, and walnuts create a rich, decadent candy with a wonderful flavor and texture! I scaled the recipe down to 1/8 pound (to test it--and because we don't have a food mill...so I had to chop everything by hand) and that made 9 small candy balls. The fruit/nut mixture was easy to work, held together very well, and adhered nicely to the sugar coating (I used regular white sugar because we didn't have any confectioner's sugar). I look forward to making this candy during the winter holidays! Thank you, Olga Drozd, for a wonderful recipe!!
