Fish Croissants and Dates Balls

 I found a recipe in Mouth of Moms website. It is a healthy sweet lunchbox treat because the sweetness comes from the fruit itself. For the dried fruit, I used dates instead apricot. Here is the recipe :

Coconut and Fruit Balls

Ingredients (makes 10 -15 balls)
3 Weet-Bix, crushed (I substituted it with half cup of oatmeal)
1/4 cup sultanas
1/4 cup apricots, finely chopped (I substituted it with dates)
1 tbsp cocoa
1/2 cup condensed milk ( I substituted it with a drizzle of honey)
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Method
In a bowl, combine the oatmeal, sultanas, dates and cocoa. Add honey, mix well.
Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Toss in coconut.
Store chilled in an airtight container.

notes : you can use food processor for better result.
