Instructions: *NOTE: Sallys recipe used 1/2 C dried prunes, chopped...I didnt have any
at the time so I used dried cranberries.

**NOTE: Sallys recipe used 1/2 C margarine...I adapted it.

***NOTE: Sallys recipe used 2 beaten eggs...I adapted it.

****NOTE: Sallys recipe used 1/2 C mixed nuts, chopped...I omitted them.

In a saucepan combine dates, raisins, prunes (dried cranberries) and water. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes. Stir in margarine and salt. Set aside to cool.

Add remaining ingredients to fruit; stir just until dry ingredients are
moistened. Spoon into greased MINI-muffin pans. (I spooned it into 12 regular muffin tins.) Bake in preheated 350-degree F oven for 15 minutes.

(If desired can bake in a greased 11 x 7 x 2-inch pan for 30 minutes.)

Yield: 32 mini-muffins. (OR 12 regular size muffins)

These were FANTASTIC!!

I had tasted them when Sally made them using her recipe...and they were really wonderful!! But I wanted to lower the fat a bit more and adapted the
recipe a bit more. I think they are excellent.

NOTES : My friend Sally brought a couple of these over recently and they were
absolutely incredible. Jeff and I scarfed them right down. I pulled the
recipe out over the weekend but didnt have time to make them.

Well, I made
them today and just took the batch out of the oven ... and tasted the part
that sticks to the muffin tin and they are heavenly!! I did make some
alterations to the recipe that Sally gave to me. I have put the recipe in
here as I did it but with
*Notes about how Sally did it. Both are really,
really good!!
