Add the cashews and almonds to the food processor and process on low for 15 seconds. They should be crushed but not completely ground up.
Take the pits out of the dates and make sure each date is fresh. Add pitted dates and the salt to the food processor and process on low for 10-15 seconds.
Finally, add the raisins, craisins, and chocolate chips and pulse 3-4 times just to incorporate them. The mixture will still be coarse, but it should easily stick together when you pinch it.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Wet your hands with water, then take a small handful of the mixture and squeeze tightly to make it stick together, then form into a ball, squishing it together as you form it. Make sure you are also grabbing from the bottom of the bowl because some of the crushed almonds and cashews have a tendency to collect at the bottom.
Repeat for each energy ball, re-wetting your hands after every few (this helps prevent the mixture from sticking).
It’ll make 16 large energy balls, but you can make them as little or large as you want, so it’s up to you how many you make! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
