Add all of the ingredients to the remaining pistachios in the processor. Process until everything is finely ground and damp. Squeeze the mixture. It should hold together. If not, add a teaspoon of water, honey, or other liquid and process again.

Transfer the date mixture to a medium bowl. Shape the balls using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per ball. Roll each ball in the ground pistachios set aside earlier. Place the finished balls on a sheet pan or plate. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
