DATE TRUFFLES
Martha's take on the Gulf confections known as tamrieh calls for coating spiced date rounds with chocolate rather than serving them with the traditional chocolate dipping sauce. Rolling the truffles in pistachios, sesame seeds, and toasted coconut takes them over the top.

Steps:
- Combine almond flour, powdered milk, and spices in a small skillet and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and light brown in color, about 2 minutes.
- Add butter and stir until the butter is melted and mixture is well combined. Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer and let cool, at least 5 minutes.
- Add date paste, cocoa, and salt to bowl and beat until well combined using the paddle attachment. Scoop balls using a tablespoon or a small ice-cream scoop and drop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll between damp hands to smooth. Refrigerate truffles at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth; stir in coconut oil. Dip truffles into chocolate, scraping along the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Roll to coat in pistachios, coconut, or sesame seeds, or a mixture of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup cocoa powder.
ALMOND-PECAN DATE TRUFFLES
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
