Date & Hazelnut Ladoo

Except few, most of the Ladoos involves lots of hardwork & series of procedures. They are prepared by Asians, mostly Indians during festives or any other celebrations. But this is a simple one that we can prepare it within a few minutes of a day...This recipe requires very less time & effort that we can prepare it as an evening snack or a dessert even when the guests have already arrived.Dates & hazelnuts compliment each other well in this recipe..

I think this could be made with roasted almonds too... never tried with that...but thinks so...

Dates, finely chopped, seedless  2 cups

Hazelnuts, roasted  1/2 cup
