Christmas Fruit Balls
A fun twist on traditional fruit cake, these bite-sized, fruit-laden snacks keep for weeks in an airtight container.
Ingredients
- ½ pound graham cracker crumbs
- 1 pound fruit cake mix*
- ½ pound raisins
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ pound mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ stick of butter
- 1 bag (14 ounces) of coconut
Directions
-
Mix together the first four ingredients.
-
Melt the marshmallows, milk and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until melted.
-
Pour this mixture over the fruit and nuts and combine well. Cool in refrigerator.
-
When chilled, form cooled fruit mixture into balls. Place coconut in a shallow bowl and roll balls in coconut. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
*Fruit cake mix typically appears at grocery stores during the holiday season. We found ours on the early side at Publix.
