Thanks for starting this thread, @Rooster!
I’ve made date and nut balls about five times So far in the month I’ve been stranded with family on the west coast. I call them healthy truffles, the kids call the latest version Nutella balls, because I swapped in hazelnuts and they really do taste like Nutella.
Simplest version is 3 ingredients - medjool dates, nuts of your choice, and cocoa. I sometimes add vanilla (or rum or a liquor for an adult treat). I’ve also skipped the cocoa and used other dried fruits to change up the flavor profile.
Here are the most recent Nutella balls. I didn’t bother decorating them (roll in cocoa or nuts or shaved chocolate or sprinkles) because the kids don’t care.
Think we may make some Rice Krispie treats this weekend.
