How to make nutty balls step by step

Step 1 - grind the nuts

• Transfer walnuts to a food processor or blender and blend into a fine meal.
  150 g walnuts
  
• Transfer the ground nuts to a larger bowl.

Step 2 - grind the cookies

• Break the cookies into smaller pieces, transfer to a food processor and blend until they are a fine powder.
  300 g shortbread cookies
  
• Transfer the cookies to the bowl with the nuts.

Step 3 - melt the chocolate

• Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it - I melted it in a double boiler (I poured some water into the bottom of a small pot and brought it to a boil, then placed a metal bowl with the broken chocolate on top and heated it over the steam until it was liquid).

• Add the chocolate to the bowl with the nuts and cookies.
  

Step 4 - prepare the balls

• Add powdered sugar and apple juice to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly to get a cohesive mass.

• If the mixture doesn't come together into a uniform mass, you can add a little more melted chocolate or honey.
• Scoop portions of the dough with a spoon and roll them into balls (it's easier to form balls when your hands are slightly moistened with water).
  

Step 5 - coat the balls in dried fruits and nuts

• Chop the hazelnuts into small pieces and transfer them to a bowl.

• Coat the balls in the dried fruits and nuts, pressing them lightly onto the balls.
  

Step 6 - chill the balls in the refrigerator

• You can eat the balls immediately, but they are better after chilling in the refrigerator for a few hours.
