Your step-by-step visual guide
Step 1: Easy peasy! Toss in the seeds, dates, and two dried roses—just be sure to ditch the ends of the roses.
Give it a whirl in the processor for about a minute and a half. Voila! Your mixture should come together beautifully.
Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and amp up the floral charm with those remaining roses!
Get your hands in there and mix in the extra roses until everything’s nicely combined.
Step 3: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.
Use those hands to roll each portion into a ball.
If you’re feeling fancy, coat four balls in sesame seeds for an extra crunch. Lightly press the balls into sesame seeds to help them stick.
