tips
You can also use a blender if you don't have a food processor. However, because dates are sticky, you'll need to use a low speed and scrape down the sides more often.
To give the balls some texture, make sure to pulse just until the mixture comes together and is broken down and crumbly.
Expiry: Store in the fridge for 1 week, or at room-temperature for 3-4 days.
