Scale

Instructions
- Prepare: Gather your tools: food processor, measuring cups, and mixing bowl

Notes
- Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes if they’re too dry to process smoothly
- Pulse nuts in short bursts to avoid creating nut butter instead of chunky pieces
- Wet your hands slightly when rolling to prevent sticking and create smoother balls
- Test the mixture by squeezing a small amount – it should hold together without crumbling
