    So easy, and great as a pick me up in the arvo or a bite before heading off in the morning.

    Delicious snack, and the dates don’t need to be too moist, so it’s a good way to use up old dates.

    I followed this to the letter except for the fact that I did not measure the ground almonds that the balls get rolled in. I even had Iranian dates. I thought at first the mixture might be too dry to hold together but I kept pulsing in the FP and it wasn't a problem at all. These are so good! I love the way the slight bitterness of the tahini complements the dates. Huge hit with everyone in the house.
