These are very tasty! I'm not a fan of walnuts so used a combo of almonds and pecans (what I happened to have on hand). I also used regular raisins and dried Granny Smith apples. I probably rolled my balls a little big because I only got 22 out of a half recipe. Very easy and tasty appetizer. I do recommend partaking of these when they are at room temperature (or briefly warmed in the microwave - no more than 8-10 seconds to take the chill off) as the flavor is much better than when chilled. Thanks for posting!

A little time consuming making those little balls, but very presentable on the finger food counter! AND TASTY, TOO! Followed the recipe, using some dried tart Fuji apples I found at Costco! Made for a group I host tomorrow evening ~ I just have to stay away from them until then! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
