Begin by preparing your food processor. Place the almonds into the processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to turn them into almond butter.
Add the shredded coconut, pitted Medjool dates, coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and chia seeds to the processor with the chopped almonds.
Process the mixture until it starts to clump together and is well combined. This will take about 2-3 minutes. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl a few times to ensure everything is properly mixed.
Once the mixture is ready and holds together when pressed, it's time to form the balls. Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture.
Roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball. Continue this process until all of the mixture is used, making approximately 20 balls.
For an extra touch, roll the finished balls in some extra shredded coconut if desired.
Place the bliss balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up before serving.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
