In a small bowl, cover the dates with boiling water and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and keep 2 tablespoons of the water to use with mixture.
In a food processor, crush the 30g pistachios for rolling. Remove and set aside.
Add the pecans and remaining pistachios to the food processor and process into an almost flour-like texture.
Add dates, peanut butter, coconut, maple syrup and reserved water. Pulse everything together until well combined. It should form a dough-like ball.
Form into balls, then roll into crushed Pistachios.
If you are going to cover a few balls with chocolate, refrigerate them 30 minutes before covering.
Store balls in the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
