Oh, these are soooo good! I've made date balls other years and apparently cooked the mixture too long, because the cooled treats were almost rock-hard! This recipe is great; makes a crunchy, chewy, sweet ball. I like to double the recipe, mix in about 1/2 cup coconut, pecans instead of walnuts, and don't roll them in anything. Yum, yum! (On med-low burner, the date mixture was on the heat for a total of 13 minutes.) -
Delicious little morsels. I rolled half in the coconut and left the others plain. Made for PROP IT UP! event in the Photo Forum. :)

Chef Nichol
Omaha, NE
My name is Nichol and I am 31 years old. I live in Hastings, NE with my wonderful 9 month old daughter Molly, husband David, and our cat Salem. I absolutely love to cook and come up with new recipes. I also like to cook with ingredients that my husband claims he doesn't like and then when he eats a dish I created, he LOVES it!!
We hope to open our own restaurant in the next couple of years! For now I run my own catering business called Noshes by Nichol and I just thoroughly enjoy seeing the looks on peoples faces when they taste what I have created! It's the simple things in life for me and I am grateful for them every single day!
Oh and GGGOOO BBBIIIGGG RRREEEDDD! We are huge Husker fans and I always make a huge spread for game days!
