1 cup raisins
1 c. dates, pitted
1 tsp. grated orange zest
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 lb. dipping chocolate

Put raisins and dates through a food chopper or process briefly in a food processor.

Add grated orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla. (The zest is the orange part of the peel.) Mix well and form into balls. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Dip the balls into it, one at a time, using a wire chocolate dipping tool.

Place on waxed or parchment paper to cool.
