Your taste buds and body will thank you!
Firstly, place the butter in a saucepan and let it melt over low heat. Afterwards, include the dates and sugar and wait for about eight to 10 minutes until the dates become soft and squishy. Once this happens, throw in the chopped nuts and biscuits, and mix everything until it blends well.
Start by getting a piece of parchment paper and laying it flat. Sprinkle some sesame seeds all over it and then put the mixture of dates on top. Roll everything up into a log shape, and use the paper to roll it tight. Once finished, put it in the fridge for an hour so it can get firm. Then, cut the log into one-centimeter slices. You can store them in the fridge inside an airtight container for up to three weeks.
