This recipe works best when your dates are soft and squishy. If yours need a little help, soak the pitted dates in hot water for ten minutes, then drain.

Pulse dates in a food processor until they are finely chopped.

Add the remaining ingredients until they become a fine crumble.

Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.

Shape into 12 balls or press firmly into a lightly greased 9x9 inch pan and cut into bars. These can be individually wrapped to take on the go or simply left covered in the pan in the fridge.
