Date and Nut Sweets
These are very sweet and filling, but two or three with coffee at the end of a meal are a great treat for the sweet-toothed.
-
- 1 cup almonds, blanched and chopped
- 1 cup walnuts or hazelnuts, chopped
- 1 cup dates, fresh or dried, finely chopped
- confectioners' sugar
Combine the almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts, and dates and mix them together as best you can (the dates get very sticky). Dust a work surface and rolling pin with confectioners' sugar and roll out the mixture into an approximate sqaure 1/2 inch thick. Cut this into 1-inch squares and roll the squares in sugar. Arrange the sweets on a plate and serve. Serves 6 as a dessert.
