Blend all ingredients (excluding dates, coconut oil) in a food processor for 1-2mins until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
Add dates one by one while processor is running, then add melted coconut oil until combined.
Scoop out tablespoons full, roll into balls and place on a plate/tray. Once all balls are done, place in the freezer for at least an hour or two to firm up (or overnight), and store in the freezer going forward too. Enjoy!

Brazil nuts are also lovely in the place of almonds, as are cashews. You could also use watermelon or sunflower seeds for a nut free option.
You can also add in 1 Tbsp chocolate brown rice/pea protein, or 2 tsp mesquite,or 1 tsp maca,or 1 Tbsp chia seeds for an extra nutrient boost.
Other roll ins I've tried and loved are raw cacao nibs, more cacao powder, acai powder, maqui powder, additional desiccated coconut, or sesame seeds
If you prefer your sweet treats a bit sweeter, you can also add up to 1 tbsp of liquid sweetener, like yacon/coconut/agave or maple syrup.
