Test the mixture and if it's too dry to easily roll into balls, add the water and mix again for a few seconds. When you have added enough water to be able to roll into firm balls, add the sultanas and stir through.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:

Use Medjool dates rather than the more commonly bought semi-dried dates. This is because medjool dates are a variety that is picked earlier, making them softer, sweeter and moister than regular semi-dried varieties.
Sultanas are a great addition as they add little sweet bursts of flavour. Of course, you can omit them if you prefer as the dates add plenty of sweetness, but I do like to include them for texture as well as flavour.
Get the consistency right. You may need to add up to 3 tablespoons of water to get the consistency correct for rolling into firm balls that hold together well. It all depends on the liquid consistency of the honey and the moistness of the dates that you use.
Store your healthy Weet-Bix balls in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week (if they last that long!).
These energy balls can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
