ALMOND-PECAN DATE TRUFFLES

Almond-Pecan Date Truffles image

My daughter and I came across a date candy recipe when she was learning about ancient Egypt. We changed some of the spices and nuts to suit our taste. My dad was a beekeeper and Mom always made a coconut date ball for Christmas. The truffles remind me of past Christmases and are ideal for something quick yet festive on a holiday tray. -Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia
