Place dates in a bowl of boiling water for approximately 10 minutes. Drain the dates.

Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped. Add the dates and coconut oil. Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it comes together.

Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and use halved almonds for ears, cinnamon hearts for nose and mini dark chocolate chips for the eyes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
