¼ c Goji Berries 

¼ c Unsalted Pistachios

Stir in the liquid ingredients.

Form into balls and roll in one of these:

You may want to wear thin gloves to roll into small balls because it is messy.  [I use the melon scoop from BB&B.] Place in sandwich bags and hide in the freezer. Keep just one bag in the refrigerator at a time. Sometimes you can get them to last a bit if the men aren't aware how much is stashed away. :) 

A bag left in the van for a week will go bad and taste terrible. They need refrigeration.

To make measuring spices simple, I keep a small jar of about 6 T each of cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander and 2 T each of allspice, mace, cloves.  With this mixture done ahead, just use ¼ c of the spice mixture for this recipe. These spices are an excellent source of antioxidants to sprinkle on breakfast oatmeal.
