Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper then set aside.
Prepare the cashew mixture:
Add the cashew butter and dates (pitted) to a food processor and process until well combined and the dates are broken down into tiny pieces.
Prepare the ball mixture:
Add the remaining ingredients, with the brown rice cereal being last to add, and process until well combined...being careful not to over process.
Depending on the consistency of your cashew butter, you may need to add a little extra almond flour. Add (1) extra tablespoon at a time until the mixture is firm enough to hold a ball shape.
Assembly:
Take out a small spoonful at a time and squeeze the mixture in the palm of your hand tightly, then roll it in to a ball shape.
Place the balls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, or until the balls are firm.
Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve because the balls will get soft and lose their shape if left out at room temperature.
