COCOA-ORANGE CEREAL AND NUT CLUSTERS
3 1/4 cups crunchy whole-grain corn cereal (such as Puffins)

In a large bowl, combine the crushed cereal, sugar, pecans and cocoa. Stir thoroughly. Add the orange juice concentrate and corn syrup, then stir until all ingredients are well moistened and the mixture holds together when squeezed into a ball.
Moistening your hands with cold water as needed, then form the mixture into 24 small balls. Roll the balls in additional powdered sugar to coat.
