You can whip these up in under 10 minutes and make them your own by adding your favourite flavour - coffee/coconut/ lime/chilli - whatever you fancy. If you do not have a food processor, use a fork to mash the dates on a plate until they are smooth. Incorporate the remaining ingredients and knead by hand until everything is well combined.
