How to Make Middle Eastern sticky sweet medjool (date ball)

We'd never turn down a nice big slice of homemade apple pie, but sometimes eating the same selection of all-American desserts (apple pie, brownies, lemon custard pie) gets to be boring.

For those times when you want to spice things up a bit and try something new, why not make the medjool (sticky sweet date balls) in this video? Rolled in chocolate flakes and/or crushed pistachios, these date balls are crunchy and chewy all in one.
