No-Bake Sticky Toffee Balls image

These easy-to-make treats are inspired by the classic British dessert: sticky toffee pudding. As a decorating option, instead of sanding sugar, roll them in confectioners' sugar combined with a large pinch of ground cinnamon.

Time 1h20m

Yield about 30 balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pitted dates (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
4 whole graham crackers, broken into pieces
Colored sanding sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • Put the dates, brown sugar and butter in a microwave-safe medium bowl and cover. Microwave on high in 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until the butter has melted.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the walnuts, orange zest, vanilla, salt and graham crackers and pulse until the mixture comes together into a stiff and slightly tacky ball. Scoop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Refrigerate the balls until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll the chilled balls in sanding sugar. The sticky toffee balls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
