Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, add 12 medjool dates, 2 cups pecans and ¼ teaspoon salt. Secure lid and run on low or pulse until a paste-like consistency is formed.

Use a tablespoon or #60 (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop to form each bite. Roll into even balls and place on a plate. Once you’ve formed all of the balls, put them in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to set.

Add ¼ cup unsweetened coconut to a small bowl or plate. Use your hands to press coconut to evenly coat each ball. Once they are all coated, store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Makes about 16 bites.
