In Israel, sweets made from dates are part of everyday life, especially from Medjool dates that are grown in the Jordan Valley and Israel’s southern regions. These Date & Cocoa Balls with Almond Butter follow that tradition closely. They are made as small, dense bites meant to be eaten slowly, one at a time, with coffee, tea, or as a midday snack pulled straight from the fridge.
Each piece starts with a date and cocoa shell that is soft and pliable, then filled with smooth almond butter at the center. The cocoa coating adds depth and a slight bitterness, while the almond butter brings richness and fat that balances the natural sugars of the dates. The result is compact, fudgy, and filling.
The pieces come arranged in a clear plastic tray inside the box, which keeps their shape and maintaining portions easy. This is a common format in Israel for date confections that are shared at home or kept on hand for regular snacking.
