Sweet Stuffed Dates, Christmas Candy Recipes

 



Dad's Sweet Stuffed Dates

I'm going to take liberty to call these simple to make Christmas candy's Dad's Sweet Stuffed Dates, cause when I was a child that's what they were. 40+ years ago our Gram (my father's mother), my sister and I would make these every year. We'd carefully package them in a white box with waxed paper. We knew that he knew what was in that white box and he looked forward to them every year.

While I was thinking back on this recipe I looked online for it. I never realized there may be a Middle Eastern influence with this recipe. I guess the use of the peanut and granulated sugar was an Americanized version. A Middle Eastern twist would be to stuff the dates, or Medjools as they are called, with almonds, pecans or walnuts and roll them in powdered sugar.
