Holidays are filled with family recipes. I have many favorites, but few that I actually make. This is one that I love to make. The peanut butter center has a lovely consistency, and the soft walnuts and chewy dates complement each other very well. No fancy chocolate - it melts in your fingers so you're forced to lick it off
Centre
1/2 cup icing sugar (75g)
1 cup peanut butter (250g)
1 cup finely chopped cooking dates (140g)
1 cup finely chopped walnuts (110g)
1 Tbsp butter (15g)
1 tsp vanilla
- Mix ingredients together until uniform.
- Roll into small balls and put on wax or parchment paper and let set in the refrigerator. Makes about 30.
Chocolate covering
250 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- Melt together in bain marie, allow to cool slightly, then dip balls to cover. Set on wax or parchment paper and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate to avoid sticking.
