ALMOND-PECAN DATE TRUFFLES
My daughter and I came across a date candy recipe when she was learning about ancient Egypt. We changed some of the spices and nuts to suit our taste. My dad was a beekeeper and Mom always made a coconut date ball for Christmas. The truffles remind me of past Christmases and are ideal for something quick yet festive on a holiday tray. -Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia

DATE TRUFFLES
Martha's take on the Gulf confections known as tamrieh calls for coating spiced date rounds with chocolate rather than serving them with the traditional chocolate dipping sauce. Rolling the truffles in pistachios, sesame seeds, and toasted coconut takes them over the top.

DATE TRUFFLES (MADGOOGA)
This recipe is easy to make and popular in Iraq since one of the things that Iraq is famous for is dates. We have lots of varieties and kinds of dates from chewy to very hard. It is better to use this recipe with hard type of dates (called kasab) not soft, but you could use soft dates if you didn't find hard dates. Sometimes Ii use already-crushed dates from the market and it goes well too. There are lots of varieties for the coating of the truffles, use as many coatings as you like according to your personal taste.

Steps:
- Put all ingredients in a bowl.
- Grind the mixture with meat grinder finely.
- Shape the dates into small balls 2 cm in diameter with slightly oiled hand with vegetable oil (I like to shape them roughly so they are not so perfect balls).
- Roll the truffles in your selected coating and place on parchment paper or tray.
- Put the truffles in small decorative paper cups and arrange them in the serving plate.
- If you bought dates that are already ground and pitted, you don't need to grind them in the meat grinder, simply knead ingredients together by hand or you can grind it again by the meat grinder.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of different types of dates, such as Medjool, Deglet Noor, and Barhi.
- To make the truffles even more decadent, add a teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract to the mixture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that the truffles have a smooth texture.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of almond milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
- If the mixture is too sticky, add a little bit of cocoa powder or shredded coconut until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Be sure to chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that they have a chance to firm up.
