Recipe(tried): Peanut Butter Balls (using dates - no milk, no cooking) Repost

This recipe is from my Mother and I make it often. Needs no cooking! It is my eldest son's favorite. Always one of the first gone off the Christmas Cookie Plate!

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
1/2 cup dates finely chopped
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt

Mix well. Roll into balls, and then roll in fine, shredded coconut or fine chocolate. They can be dipped in warm chocolate too. Keep in a small cookie tin in a cool place. (I keep them in the fridge.) Can be made ahead and frozen.
