Non Traditional Date Balls
Traditionally date balls are made very simply. They take a package of dates and roll them into balls. They then stuff each one with a whole almond and then roll in coconut or pistachios.
These date balls are very delicious and so easy to make. Why are they non-traditional? Because I use Rice Crispies. If you do not have Rice Crispies you can fry up some basmati rice. Just heat some oil real hot and add in a few pieces of rice at a time. Ingredients:
