PEANUT BUTTER DATE BALLS
These things are great! The dates add natural sweetener - no sugar added! They come from the Biggest Loser Cookbook and are probably the best recipe in there! Note: These taste great with natural peanut butter, which avoids having sugar added because of the sugar added to regular peanut butter.

PEANUT BUTTER DATE BALLS
My mom always had these cookies on our Xmas cookie trays. It is an absolute must every year! Everyone loves these! (I believe that Mom cut this recipe from a magazine but I don't know its origin.) The preparation time includes chilling time in the fridge.

Steps:
- Soften the peanut butter by microwaving for about one minute on Power Level 3.
- In a medium bowl, cream peanut butter and butter.
- Stir in icing sugar, dates and peanuts and mix well.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1" balls or whatever size you like, if dough is sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes or so before rolling.
- Place on waxed paper lined baking trays and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Place butter and chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and melt the chocolate at 30 second intervals until smooth (I usually do this at Power Level 6 so that it doesn't overcook).
- Dip the balls into the chocolate and place back onto the wax paper lined trays and pop into the fridge again for an hour or so.
- These freeze beautifully - I place balls into tupperware and put wax paper between the layers.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter instead of processed peanut butter.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add more oats or almond flour until it reaches a consistency that can be easily rolled into balls.
- For a sweeter treat, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- For a more decadent experience, dip the balls in melted dark chocolate or white chocolate.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter date balls are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own preferences. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a healthy dessert, peanut butter date balls are a great option.
