I have got this recipe in a cookie exchange party. One of my favorite Christmas events. These no-bake cookies are amazing even if you don't fancy dates you will enjoy them. They are buttery little crunchy and easy to make.

These are a great way to use up leftover dates. I had a bunch of dates that were about to go bad, so I made these dates balls and they were a hit! They're also a great way to get kids to eat more fruit.

These are a great make-ahead snack. I made a batch on Sunday and they lasted me all week. They're also perfect for packing in lunches or taking on road trips.

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but these balls were surprisingly good! The butter and nuts really helped to balance out the sweetness of the dates.
