If the mixture is too dry, add a little more agave syrup and pulse to mix through. If it is still too dry add a tablespoon of water, and pulse again. The mixture should be a little sticky. Using a teaspoon, roll into balls. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

*If using fresh Medjool dates you will probably find that you will only need a tiny amount of agave syrup – or none at all!
