To make about 1 pound.

1 cup dried prunes, pitted
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup raisins
1/4 pound walnuts or blanched and peeled almonds (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar or 2 ounces sweet chocolate (about)

Put all of the fruits and nuts through a food mill, using a coarse disk. Add the honey and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into small balls and roll the balls in the confectioners' sugar.

Alternatively, line a pan 7 inches square with wax paper or parchment paper. Pack the fruit and nut mixture firmly into the pan to a depth of about 3/4 inch. Melt the chocolate over warm water, and cover the mixture with the melted chocolate. Let it harden, then cut the candy into 1-inch squares.
