Ingredients:
½ cup (2 oz) Black Sesame Seeds

1. If sesame seeds aren’t already roasted, toast the sesame seeds by putting them in a wide
   skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally. Continue frying until fragrant (3-
   5 mins). Remove the seeds from the hot skillet so they don’t over cook and let them cool
   for at least 1 minute


2. In a food processor, whir together the sesame seeds, walnuts and 3 tbsp of honey


3. Roll into ¾ inch balls. If the balls don’t stick together at first, add a little more honey and
   whir the mixture some more
