Healthy date confectionery

I was a super housewife tonight. I cooked dinner and made two types of those sweet little "date balls" One healthy type and other with a bit of marzipan. I use the word confectionery, it sounds mores sophisticated than date balls...

Date confectionery

• 1/2 cup dates
• 1/2 cup dried shredded coconut meat (that you buy in a supermarket)
• 1/2 cup hazel nuts
• 1/4 cup oat meal
• 2 tsp good cocoa
• 2 tsp syrup
• 3 tbsp water if you need it more wet

Date confectionery with marzipan

• Half of the recipe above
• 100 - 200 g marzipan, or as much as you like

Mix the ingredients in a food processor until it becomes a sticky kind of a dough.

I made balls from the dough and rolled some of it with cocoa powder and some with the dried coconut meat.

You can improvise a lot here, the measurement doesn´t have to be accurate and it´s good to add all kinds of dried fruits, seeds and nuts.
