These tart snacks remind me of key lime pie made into a pretty, pink, crispy-centered truffle. They are best stored in the freezer so the rice krispies stay crisp but I'm proud to say it wasn't even two days before mine were all gone.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Just Raspberries (freeze dried raspberries)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3/4 cup chopped dried dates, pits removed
- 2 1/2 teaspoons key lime zest
- 3 tablespoons key lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
Directions
- Pulse the raspberries, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor until they form a lite pink powder. Tap the top of the food processor bowl and allow the dust to settle before opening. Pour the powder into a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the food processor bowl, washing is not necessary.
- Add the almonds to the food processor and pulse until they form a coarse meal. Add the chopped dates, lime zest, lime juice and salt. Process until it comes together like a cookie dough and the dates are distributed evenly.
- Scrape down the bowl if needed and add half of the rice cereal. Process until incorporated. Add the remaining cereal and repeat. This gives you some smaller cereal crunch and some larger.
- Form teaspoon sized balls and roll in the raspberry mixture.
- Freeze any uneaten balls. They are great right out of the freezer.

Look for Just Raspberries with the dried fruit in your local health food stores. http://www.justtomatoes.com/JRB-P.html

I found the raspberries. They were as you said with the dried fruit in the health section. I made these tonight. They tasted similar to something I fix for Christmas. My recipe uses dried apricots, coconut, pecans, and the juice of maraschino cherries. You make these into balls and press them around a maraschino cherry. The texture was similar and yours had a nice fresh taste with the lime. The raspberries were kinda pricey. It did make them pretty. If I was pressed for budget, I would just do a powdered sugar and skip the raspberries.

They sell the Just Raspberries at health food stores, Whole Foods and sometimes bigger groceries will carry them in their health food section. They come in a little plastic tub. Here's an online source: http://www.justtomatoes.com/JRB-P.html
My son loves the raspberries and I like the mixed fruit and strawberry ones.

Mmm, these look like a perfect project for when I see my younger sisters (4 & 6). They can add faces and such, and my father won't even know that I'm teaching them about compassionate cooking, by omitting the nasty gelatin you'd usually find in something like this (Damn marshmallows). In any case, they sound delicious. Thanks :)
