Method
 

  1. Place the toasted pecans in a food processor and pulse until they form a fine, crumbly meal.
  2. Add the pitted dates, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt to the food processor. Process until the mixture is fully combined and forms a sticky dough that clumps together.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll between your hands to form smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the truffles for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  5. While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat it completely. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  7. Place the chocolate-coated truffles back on the parchment paper. Garnish with chopped pecans or a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
