1. Start by placing the pitted dates and walnuts in a food processor. Blend them until they are finely chopped and well combined.
2. Next, add the cocoa powder, almond butter, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Blend again until everything is mixed together and forms a sticky dough.
3. If you like, you can add some chocolate chips to the mixture for an extra treat. Just pulse them in gently.
4. Now, take a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball, about the size of a tablespoon. Repeat this until all the mixture is shaped into balls.
5. For a finishing touch, roll the balls in some extra shredded coconut if you want. This adds a nice look and a bit of extra flavor.
6. Place the finished date balls in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Your tasty chocolate brownie date balls are ready to enjoy! They make a perfect snack or dessert.
