Ingredients

5 medjool dates (pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 minutes to help soften)
1.5 cups pecan pieces
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
dash sea salt

Instructions

Add 1 cup pecans (save the other 1/2 cup) and the rest of your ingredients to a food processor and blend until fully combined.
Stir in the other 1/2 cup pecans (so that you get some bigger pecan chunks in each bite!).
Spoon batter out and roll into balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).
Set onto parchment paper-lined plate or tray and set in the freezer for 2 hours.
Store in the freezer and you can enjoy at any time– no need to thaw!
