   If the dates are hard, soak them in hot water for a minute or two, then drain well, patting the moisture out with a clean tea towel

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

4. 4

   Freeze the mixture in the bowl for 20 minutes then form little balls out of it.

   The easiest way is to keep halving the mixture.

   See my recipe for tempering chocolate if you like or just blast it in the microwave in 15 - 30 second stints until melted

    Use a cocktail stick to pick up and coat the balls in the chocolate.
