Honey Nuts Stuffed Dates ... Starting A New Chapter In My Life

In a couple of weeks, a new chapter in my life is about to begin. New place, new relations, new responsibilities! I'm going through lots of emotions at the moment ... happy, worried, excited, scared and nervous about this special day of my life. I am hoping, in sha' Allah ( by the grace of Allah ), this new life will be filled with love, laughter, happiness and respect.

Thank you all for joining me on this magical journey of blogging. I will never forget the love and affection you gave me. Thank you so much to all my friends / fellow bloggers, readers / followers / subscribers of Simply Sweet 'n Savory ... for making these past three years of my life, so special. I seek your wishes and blessings on this special occasion :)

Do you remember these Mango Cake Balls , posted in the last summer? I just loved them. Though this time I tweaked the recipe a bit. Used coconut cake crumbs & jam, rolled in coconut & dipped in chocolate. There are so many variations you can do; just use whatever cake, jam and topping you like.
