No Bake Pumpkin Date Balls

Directions

1. Fit a food processor with a metal blade. Add the walnuts, pecans and pumpkin pie spice to the food processor and pulse until the nuts are uniformly finely chopped (think fresh bread crumb texture.) Pour the nut mixture into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Add the dates, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the food processor. Process until the dates are broken down.
3. Next, add half the nut mixture to the food processor with the dates and pulse until combined. Add the other half of the nut mixture and process until the mixture is incorporated and sticks together. If you find that the mixture is having trouble breaking down, add one tablespoon at a time of water or additional pumpkin puree until the mixture adheres together, but isn't too sticky. If it's too wet, add some additional nuts.
4. When all of the ingredients have been processed, wet your hands and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in finely chopped nuts until lightly coated, pressing the nuts lightly into the surface of the balls. Serve or store for later!
