He’s a pretty normal kid, too, so I think there’s a good chance you and yours will also enjoy this easy and fairly healthy snack.

Fruit Nuggets

2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs

half cup finely group ginger snaps OR graham cracker crumbs

half teaspoon cinnamon

half teaspoon nutmeg

half teaspoon ginger

2 cups assorted dried fruit (apples, raisins, dates, apricots, whatever you have)

half cup orange juice

2-3 Tablespoons honey

Combine graham cracker and ginger snap crumbs in spices in med bowl.  Finely chop fruit in food processor or by hand. (I used my food processor to turn the crackers and cookies into crumbs as well)  Add crumbs to the fruit in the food processor, if it’s big enough.  If not, combine in a large bowl.

Add orange juice and honey, stir or mix until it all holds together. Roll into one inch balls.  Store in an air tight container at room temp or in the fridge.

My son loved these so much that he took them to share with his friends, who also thought they were very good.  Now I have to make more.  :)
