date balls/kim

The southern holiday staple, date balls were always made in my family by my dear aunt who died this year so I decided to whip up a batch to honor her memory this Christmas. I got the recipe here. They were a complete disaster---WAY WAY WAY too much sugar. Everyone in Philipp's family was calling them "Sugar Bombs" last night. I briefly entertained the idea of presenting them as a gift from Eveline, but had mercy on my mother-in-law. Kim would have thought that funny.

Rest in peace, Kim.
