Steps:
- 1. Mix together in skillet - Dates, butter, brown sugar and water. Cook over medium heat for 10 - 12 minutes or until thickened to a paste.
- 2. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3. Mix in 2 cups of the rice crispies. Allow to cool to touch then roll into small balls. Roll in coconut or powdered sugar. Serving size depends on how big the balls are.
Tips:
- Use ripe dates: Softer dates are easier to work with and will result in a smoother, creamier filling. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using.
- Pit the dates thoroughly: Make sure to remove all of the pits from the dates before processing them. Otherwise, you may end up with a gritty or crunchy filling.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the best tool for making date balls. It will quickly and easily chop the dates and nuts into a fine paste.
- Chill the date balls before rolling them in frosting: This will help the frosting to set more quickly and evenly.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can use any type of frosting or topping you like on your date balls. Some popular options include chocolate frosting, peanut butter frosting, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
Conclusion:
Date balls are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them plain or frosted, date balls are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health.
