Tips for making perfect dry fruit balls: To make the perfect dry fruit balls, start by toasting the nuts in the oven or microwave until they are fragrant. If you don't have almond powder, you can easily make it at home by blanching almonds and removing the skin. Make sure the almonds are completely dry before processing to avoid them turning into butter.
