For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of margarine. Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. If the date mixture becomes too thick while you are forming the balls, gently warm it over low heat for a few seconds to soften it. Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the date mixture for a warm, spiced flavor. Drizzle with melted white chocolate after the coconut coating has set.
