1. Place Medjool dates, rolled oats, peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of water into a food processor.
2. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together. If needed, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture is well combined. The amount of water needed depends on how juicy your Medjool dates are! See the notes section below.
3. Divide the mixture into roughly 1 tablespoon amounts. Wet your hands (to help stop the mixture from sticking), and roll each portion in the palms of your hands until you have a rough ball.
4. Optional step: Push a depression into the center of each ball, then fill the hollow with 2-3 peanut halves. Then pinch the sides back over the peanuts and roll again.
5. Add crushed peanuts to a small bowl and used them to coat the balls.
6. Place the finished balls into an airtight container (in a single layer) and allow them to firm up in the fridge for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
