In a food processor, blend the dates and walnuts until crumbly.
Add the remaining ingredients. Blend everything until a smooth, sticky consistency is reached.
Using a damp spoon or your hands, roll into balls of your desired size. Place each on a freezer-safe tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
