Be careful not to over-process, as you don\u2019t want to turn them into peanut butter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Prepare the Dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wash\u00a0<strong>1 1\/4 cups of dates<\/strong>, remove the pits, and add them to the food processor along with the ground peanuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grind the mixture<\/strong>\u00a0until it forms a sticky, cohesive mass. The dates act as the binder, creating a naturally sweet and chewy base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Form the Mixture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer the sticky mixture into a bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using your hands,\u00a0<strong>squeeze the mixture together<\/strong>\u00a0to form one solid block of dough. The texture should be firm and sticky enough to hold its shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Roll and Coat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a portion of the mixture and place it on a flat surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roll the portion into a log shape<\/strong>.
