Steps

1

Gather the ingredients.
2

Crush the cornflakes with a spoon (or use clean hands; an easier method) and keep aside.
Soften the dates in a microwave (if they are hard and a bit dry) for a few seconds and make a paste in a blender or food processor.
Chop the nuts coarsely (you may make them into fine crumbs or leave them coarsely chopped like I did, as I like to bite into bits of nuts in the ladoos!!).
3

Mix all 3 in a bowl with a spoon or easier yet, use your hand to mix and knead them into a well-incorporated mixture.
4

Take small portions of the mixture in your hands and roll them into small balls or ladoos.
5

For a variation (it looks good too), you can roll them in desiccated coconut.
6

Bite into one of them (well, you deserve this healthy treat!!), serve to your family and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
