Place the ingredients into your processor and blend at high speed until the mixture resembles a fine, sticky crumb. 

If it's too wet, add more dry (coconut flakes or coconut flour or almond meal)

If too dry, add more wet (maple syrup or nut butter)

Taste along the way to balance salty & sweet

Use your hands to press and shape the mixture into balls or press them into silicon molds. Place the balls into the fridge for 15 min or eat right away!
