Toss in the chopped dates and blend again until the mixture becomes thick and sticky

Add raisins, apricots, and cranberries, then pulse until evenly distributed throughout the mixture

Pour in peanut butter, chia seeds, coconut, walnuts, and salt, then blend until the mixture forms a slightly coarse, dough-like texture

Check the consistency by pressing the mixture between your fingers—it should hold together easily without crumbling

Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands

Place the bites on a tray and refrigerate until firm, about 20–30 minutes

Once chilled, the bites should feel slightly firm on the outside while remaining soft and chewy inside
