- 2 tbsp light tahini

Method
- Combine almonds, cashew, cacao, cardamon spice, Himalayan salt, and orange zest in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles finely chopped breadcrumbs. Add chopped dates and blitz again for 30 seconds. Add tahini and honey and pulse again in food processor to bind. The mixture should be sticky but not too wet.

Maggie's Tips
- Make up a double batch of these and freeze.
- Swap nuts: Instead of almonds and cashew try hazelnuts or pecans or walnuts. Mix and vary as much as you like.
