  • Use soft, fresh dates for easier blending. If dates are dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and drain.
  • Pulse the food processor so the mix stays slightly chunky, not a paste.
  • Wet your hands slightly when rolling to stop sticking.
  • Make bite size balls so they are easy to eat.

variation (if any)

  • Add a pinch of salt or a drop of vanilla for more flavor.
  • Use almonds, pecans, or cashews instead of walnuts.
  • Mix in a tablespoon of chia or flaxseed for extra fiber.
  • Press into a tray and cut into bars instead of rolling balls.
