Time 25m

Yield 25 balls

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 lb raw almonds
2 pints pitted dates (Medjool is really good)
1/4 cup honey
vegetable oil, for forming balls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grind the almonds in a food processor until finely chopped. Move chopped almonds to a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until fragrant and just a shade darker.
  • Coarsely chop dates and add to food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and dates form a ball. Remove from processor to a bowl.
  • Add half of the ground almonds to the dates, leaving the reserved almonds on the baking pan to roll the balls in once formed.
  • Add the honey to the date and almond mixture. Mix together until evenly mixed and smooth.
  • Coat your hands with some vegetable oil so mixture does not stick too much.
  • Form mixture into 1-1/2" balls. Roll each ball in ground almonds to coat well. Place in a sealed container until ready to eat.
  • Any leftover chopped nuts for coating can be sprinkled over the balls to keep them from sticking together when moving.
  • Will keep for up to 5 days at room temperature or up to a week in refrigerator.

A friend gave me this recipe more than 30 years ago. It is my husband's favorite treat. I like these with pecans or walnuts. If you do not like nuts, omit the nuts and use 3 cups Rice Krispies. -Melinda Lord, Washington, Iowa

Tips:

  • Choose the right dates. Medjool dates are the best choice for these balls because they are large, soft, and have a naturally sweet flavor. If you can't find Medjool dates, you can use another variety, but they may need to be soaked in warm water for a few minutes to soften them before using.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender. This will help to create a smooth and consistent mixture.
  • Add a little bit of almond or vanilla extract. This will help to enhance the flavor of the balls.
  • Roll the balls in chopped almonds or coconut flakes. This will give them a nice crunchy coating.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Honey almond date balls are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are made with all-natural ingredients and are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, try making these honey almond date balls. You won't be disappointed!
