Pour the dry ingredients into the date mixture bowl.

Mix everything with a fork, then use your hands to completely and evenly combine.

Gather the mixture into one ball with your hands, then squeeze it with your palms about a dozen times.

Separate it into 2 pieces, and form each one into a compact ball.

Put them a small covered container, put in fridge (optional), then wait about 15 minutes before eating.
