Instructions
Add the dates, prunes, pecans, and spices to the food processor. Pulse for about a minute or until the mixture is smooth.
Add the cocoa powder and pulse until it's incorporated.
Add the maple syrup to make the mixture pliable. You may need to add a touch more than 1 tablespoon if the mixture is too dry.
Take about one tablespoon of mixture at a time and roll into balls.
If using, roll in extra cocoa powder.

Notes
I always use gloves when rolling these truffles as otherwise it gets super messy.
