4. On medium heat, put a small pan to heat up.
5. Add the sesame seeds to this pan and gently toast the sesame seeds, stirring once a while for evenly toasting them.
6. The sesame seeds will start to make a popping sound. Stir and give them another 10 - 20 seconds after you first hear the popping, then remove from heat.
7. Add the still hot sesame seeds to the date mix.
8. Mix this all together, until well combined You will need a strong spoon and arm.
