In a food processor, add the almonds and pulse a bit to break them up into pea sized pieces.
Turn it on, then add the dates a couple pieces at a time and keep blending until it is all crumbled.
If it balls up add a 1-2 tsp water, and the ball will break into a paste.
Using a spatula, scrape out the mixture into a bowl.
Add the oatmeal, and most of the coconut. (Keep the rest of the coconut to roll them in at the end)
Mix well by hand, this will be a little messy :)
Wash your hands because hell, I'm sure you need to at this point. Then take small amounts and roll in your palms till it becomes a ball ( a little smaller than a golf ball).
Then roll around in the shredded coconut, that way you get more yummy coconut and they won't be sticky at all on the outside.
Cover, chill and serve! (if they even last that long)
