Almond Tahini Date Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sliced almonds (I just used whole almonds)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons tahini
18 medium dried dates (They MUST be pitless. I use pitless Chinese red dates, which are small, so I used about 25)

Preparation

Grind almonds and cinnamon in food processor until finely chopped.
Add tahini and continue to pulse.
Add dates and chop until all blended in (be careful with pits!).
Form into 1\" balls and refrigerate.
Can be eaten chilled or at room temperature, and they also travel well so they make a good brown-bag dessert.
