Steps:
- Pit the medjool dates and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes until they soften
- Place the pitted dates and pecans in the bowl of a large food processor. Blend on high until a thick "dough" is formed and the mixture feels sticky.
- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. If you have time you can let them set in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Roll the energy bites into desiccated or shredded coconut pressing gently so they adhere. Makes about 12-14 bites.

I like making these date energy balls with cashews. They remind me of the cashew cookie Larabar.

DATE BALLS
A holiday tradition. My mother made these date balls every year at Christmas time. They may be stored in a plastic or glass container. If the weather is warm, keep them in the refrigerator. Make sure balls are cooled thoroughly before storing.

HEALTHY DATE BALLS
This is very similar to already-posted recipes, but with healthier ingredients. I experimented with my favorite no-bake cookie recipe and was delighted to find that there's almost no difference in taste!! I can't keep my hands off these! By the way, the dates I use are whole pitted dates, that I "dice" with a scissors. I'm not sure if the pre-chopped, flour coated version would work.

CHOCOLATE DATE ENERGY BALLS
Eating just one of these healthy chocolate date energy balls satisfies my sweet tooth without added refined sugar. My recipe is a spinoff of an energy ball my daughter made for me when I was testing for my taekwondo black belt. -Barbara Estabrook, Appleton, Wisconsin
