A good candy recipe. I used wax paper to roll out half the candy (into two logs for slicing) and the cookie dough scoop for the other half. You could put some walnut halves or whole dates on top of each piece, or roll the balls in coconut. This is tasty, but it doesn't taste like dates. It taste more like brown sugar fudge (but it's easier to make).
