A coated dried fruit piece is prepared by applying a coating of a melted fat or oil followed by a dusting of a dry particulate coating. The steps may be repeated as desired to build a coating of a desired thickness. The dry particulate coating includes a cereal component, such as wheat germ or shredded wheat fines, a sweetener and preferably a nut meal. The cereal component has a particle size sufficiently large to form a coating with crunchy particulates over the soft dried fruit. The particle size of the cereal component is sufficiently small to ensure the particles will adhere to the dried fruit pieces. |
