Date & walnut balls- fast sweet treats

I can whizz these up in a nano second, perfect for when friends drop by or you are off to a pot luck with no prep time available.
Take a handful of dates, the less expensive, drier kind, and some walnuts. For a good squidgy consistency I recommend an overall blend of 60% dates to 40% walnuts.
Blend hard! There will be an alarming rattling noise; you must trust that all is well. Tip the crumbly mixture into a bowl, large enough that you can get your hands in and squeeze the mixture into balls.
That's it, you're done.
For added sophistication if you have a little extra time, add some finely grated orange zest and a drift of cinnamon powder.
Ideal companion for fresh apple-ginger juice and a great energy boost.
