Marina,  glad you liked them. 
Jen,  I think you could probably add prunes or increase the amount of dried fruit.

Just made these. They are very good. I might have been a bit heavy handed with the cinnamon.

DD the original recipe had double the amount that I put in.   Thought it was a bit much.  A lot depends on the quality of the cinnamon.  I grind my own and it tends to be strong. The commercial stuff has fillers.

I just made these with cranberries, figs and apricots.  The cinnamon I used was a bit old so couldn't really taste the 1 dsp I put in, but the balls were delicious in the end.  Tahini biscuits next ...

Marina,  sounds like a nice mix of dried fruit.
When you make the Tahini biscuits, the firmer soft ones are the original recipe.  The ones I gave you had the extra Golden syrup and extra Tahini paste.  The second ones are more Anzac like.   
I am making a Green Salad for lunch from the Revive book.  Was very hard to decide which one I would make as all looked delicious.
