sleigh balls - date balls
(2 ratings)
If there's one treat that reminds me of Christmas and my mom making something great, it's these crunchy sweet date balls. The little red sleigh is a precious wooden thing she painted. It was probably painted by her in the 1950s. I have other items she stenciled. I just decided to rename the date balls "Sleigh Balls" and will serve them in the sleigh this Christmas!
