In reply to John Hance. Yes, John, you can use margarine if that's what you prefer. Enjoy the date nut balls!

Can you use margarine in place of butter?

In reply to Valerie. Hi Valerie, I'm not sure because we have never made them without the coconut. I don't think I would alter any other ingredients. Good luck!

If I do not want to add the coconut, do I alter the other ingredients any?

In reply to Donna Powell. Hi Donna! I usually purchase Bard Valley Natural Delights. They aren't that cheap, but they are the best quality in my opinion. Enjoy the Date Nut Balls!

This is the same recipe that I’ve used for years. Dromedary chopped dates was the brand name I have always used but they have stopped making this product. Could you tell me the brand name of dates that you use. I have had trouble in the past with dates not melting properly or has a off taste. Thanks so much.

I have made these b4 but rolling them in 10x sugar puts them over the top!

In reply to Robin Heath. Hi Robin! You have a great question. We used sweetened coconut by Baker's found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. I have updated the recipe to reflect the change. It is so nice of you to treat your friend. I hope he will enjoy the Date Nut Balls. Thanks so much for stopping by The Mountain Kitchen!

Hi. I have a friend who’s late wife used to make these for him. This will be my first time making anything remotely like this! I want to surprise him with these as he’s been really incredible for me these past few years when I’ve needed a friend the most. He’s apparently addicted to this treat! 😆 I just wanted to clarify one thing….on the coconut, is that sweetened or unsweetened coconut? I really want to make sure these turn out perfectly! Thank you!
