No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites

What could be better than super easy, no-bake chocolately pieces of heaven? I love that these energy bites are SO healthy, and I can enjoy them for a quick breakfast running out the door to work, an afternoon snack, or even dessert! It also amazes me that there is no sugar! All the sweetness comes from the dates. =)

1 cup almond slices
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons ground flax seed (if possible, use whole flax seeds and grind them yourself)
1/4 teaspoon ground sea salt
1 1/2 cups organic old fashioned oats
1 pound medjool dates, seeds removed
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/3 cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (finely shredded will stick better)
