  to check the right consistency take a little mix in a spoon, you should be able to roll this into a soft ball.
• Step 7
  next spread the mix quickly into a greased dish , spread before the mix cools off.
• Step 8
  allow to cool, then cut into desired shapes, and enjoy!
• Step 9
  Grind small portions at a time if you grind for too long the nuts will start getting oily. Store at room temperature for a week or in the fridge for longer.
