Place the pumpkin seeds on a sheet pan. Roast the pumpkin seeds for 10 minutes, until fragrant and toasted.
Pour the toasted pumpkin seeds into the base bowl of a food processor. Pulse the seeds until finely chopped (about 30-60 seconds). Add the dates, and pulse again until finely chopped (another 30-60 seconds).
Add the remaining ingredients: coconut oil, coconut butter, shredded coconut, cacao powder, and salt. Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are well combined and begin to stick together (about 30-60 seconds).
Scoop small amounts of the dough into your hand. Press the ingredients together with your hands to form golf-ball size bites. If the dough feels too dry and it's hard to form the bites, add a bit of water to the dough (1/2 tsp as needed) and wet your hands with water. Optional: After forming the bites, roll them in shredded coconut.
Place the bites in a storage container, and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. The bites keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
*If the dates are hard and dry (fresh dates should be moist and soft), soak the dates in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes to soften them. **Soften the coconut butter in the microwave for a few minutes (or place the jar in a bowl of hot water) if it’s too hard to scoop from the jar.The bites aren't super sweet. If you'd like sweeter bites, you can add a few more dates, or add 1-2 tablespoons of honey while pulsing the ingredients. You could also add more flavor to the bites with cinnamon (I would start with 1/4 teaspoon and work from there based on your taste).
