NUT BUTTER BALLS
I think the concept for these was developed for camping and hiking, but I make these for my kids as a healthier alternative to sweet snacks. There are tons of possibilities for variation on almost all of the ingredient which I like a lot.

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix the first three ingredients.
- Add the oats and coconut plus anything additional and stir to coat.
- Form into a 1 inch round cylinder using wax paper.
- Chill for about 30 minutes or longer and cut and roll into golf ball sized or smaller pieces.
- Roll each ball in a dish of sesame seeds (whole or ground) to coat.
Tips:
- Use a food processor. This will make the process of chopping the dates and nuts much easier.
- If your food processor is not strong enough to chop the dates, you can soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before chopping. This will soften them up and make them easier to chop.
- Be careful not to over-process the mixture. You want it to be sticky and hold together, but you don't want it to be too smooth.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a little bit more almond flour or oats.
- Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling it into balls. This will make it easier to handle.
- You can coat the balls in melted chocolate, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
- Store the balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
