Start by processing the almonds in a food processor. {I like to keep a few small chunks in the mix, so I did not process the almonds into a powder.}

Add half of the dates, and half of the pumpkin puree. Process the mixture a few times. Stop the processor and use a spatula to re-combine the mix if needed.

Add the rest of the dates, pumpkin puree, spices, and vanilla extract. Keep processing until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Remove from the food processor and form into balls. I used a medium-sized cookie scoop to ensure even sizing for each bite.

Freeze for 30 minutes to harden. Keep refrigerated in a covered container - the bites should last cooled for up to one week!
