Drain the dates but reserve the water for later.

In a food processor, chop the nuts until they are a fine crumb like mixture. I use whatever I have on hand; almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews or pecans. Walnuts seem to work the best in my opinion.

Add cacao powder and mix through.

Lastly add the dates and process until it forms a dough like consistency. Add a bit of the date water if it's too dry. Add just a little at a time so it doesn't get too moist.

Take out the dough and form into little balls or press mixture into a small pan and cut into squares.

You can also roll in cacao powder or toasted coconut flakes.

Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
