Gluten-Free Sugarplums

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 2-1/2 dozen.
Lots of moist, fruity flavor and nutty crunch give these sweet/spicy bites a kind of gumdrop richness. They make a delicious addition to cookie trays. Sneak one early—they’ll be gone before you can lick the sugar off your fingers! —Corleen Heidgerken, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
