A holiday tradition. My mother made these date balls every year at Christmas time. They may be stored in a plastic or glass container. If the weather is warm, keep them in the refrigerator. Make sure balls are cooled thoroughly before storing.

Steps:
- Soften the peanut butter by microwaving for about one minute on Power Level 3.
- In a medium bowl, cream peanut butter and butter.
- Stir in icing sugar, dates and peanuts and mix well.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1" balls or whatever size you like, if dough is sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes or so before rolling.
- Place on waxed paper lined baking trays and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Place butter and chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and melt the chocolate at 30 second intervals until smooth (I usually do this at Power Level 6 so that it doesn't overcook).
- Dip the balls into the chocolate and place back onto the wax paper lined trays and pop into the fridge again for an hour or so.
- These freeze beautifully - I place balls into tupperware and put wax paper between the layers.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is recommended so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Make sure the dates are pitted and finely chopped. This will help them to blend smoothly into the mixture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the dates by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- Be careful not to overmix the mixture. Overmixing can make the balls tough.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, or the balls will become dry and crumbly.
- The balls can be coated in a variety of toppings, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or coconut.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Butter dates balls are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of these delicious treats that will be sure to please everyone.
