In a medium bowl soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes and then drain.
Place the dates in the food processor and pulse a few times or until the dates become chopped.
Add in the rest of the ingredients and process until a thick batter forms. If the batter seems crumbly then add in 1 tablespoon of water or more if needed.
Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour or until you can form balls.
Roll batter into 20 balls, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
