GF DF Sesame Seed Date Fingers

Found this healthy yet oh so sweet and delicious treat at this website.

2 lbs. pitted dates
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 lb. almonds
1 tablespoon ground cardamom seeds
1 cup sesame seeds

1. Blanch, skin and split the almonds in two. Fry them in oil until golden brown. Remove, drain and spread out on a paper towel.

2. Brown the sesame seeds in a pan without oil, until golden, stirring constantly. Spread sesame seeds on a tray.

3. In a blender mix the dates into the cardamom seeds to form a dough. Form the paste into balls the size of a date and stuff with a piece of almond. Close and mold into a finger shape. Roll in the sesame seeds and arrange on a serving dish.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
