Lemon Dessert Balls
These wonderfully delicious Lemon Dessert Balls are easy to make and even easier to make disappear. The flavor combination of tart lemon, walnuts and sweet dates makes this recipe a winner. It's fun to listen to our guests try and guess what the ingredients are.
For a real flavor explosion, put a plate of these next to a bowl of chocolate fondue. Don't forget the toothpicks!
