Start by soaking the dates in warm water for 2 hours; remove the stems and mash it with a fork.
Add the oats to a blender and grind it until it turns into a fine powder; put it aside and grind the roasted hazelnuts / or salted peanuts.
Heat the dates a bit to soften, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until the mixture starts to stick together. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of hot water and mix until well combined.
Scoop and roll the mixture into balls with your hands. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.

Tips
Store in a container either in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Optional: You can fill it with nuts for extra crunchiness. I am using hazelnut, but pecans or almonds work perfectly.
