Ingredients
  

  • 12-15 dates
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • cup chopped pecans for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Pit your dates then soak them in warm water for 10 minutes
  • Put just the dates (not the warm water) in a food processor with the spices and mix until combined and smooth
  • Wet your hands a bit so the date dough doesn't stick to you. Roll them into balls (roughly 10-12)
  • Finely chop your pecans then roll the balls so they are covered
  • Let them set in the fridge/freezer for 10 minutes then enjoy!
  • Store in the fridge for a week!
