Ingredients:

• 2 cups pecans, or other nut/seed of choice (I was going to use cashews, but decided against it)
• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 
• 2 cups soft medjool dates (For the love of all things good, MAKE SURE THEY'RE PITTED!)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil 
• 1 teaspoon sea salt 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (If you have REAL vanilla, use it!)

Method:

• In a large food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the walnuts and coconut until crumbly.

Post-processing

• Add in the dates, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt and process again until a sticky, uniform batter is formed.

See these pits? These will do a fantastic job of RUINING your equipment
and making your recipes taste like crud.. So take 'em out... Trust me on this one.

Blended down sticky noms! Time to starting scooping!

• Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons, pressing down onto a cutting board to pack the together.
• Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place in the freezer to set
• Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for an even longer shelf life.

Voila!  Enjoy!
