'Charoset' energy ballz

While in quarantine, I have been cooking and baking - testing recipes for Pesach - and looking for healthy snack such as these charoset energy balls.

Why charoset? Because.....

1) the ingredients are almost identical ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2) Pesach is also dominating my headspace⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3) I did actually use a charoset recipe for one of these⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And so it is, charoset energy balls for a healthy snack in lockdown.

Add into the base recipe items such as dried figs, tahini, orange blossom water, or matcha. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Form into balls and then roll the balls in ground flour, shredded coconut, cocoa, sesame seeds or anything else that appeals to you! This recipe should make 16 balls.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
