Place the dates in a bowl. Pour hot water over the dates so that they are fully submerged. Let the dates soak for 5 minutes to soften.
Drain the water from the dates and add them to your food processor, along with the pecans, coconut and salt. Blend until the mixture starts to clump and can be shaped into balls.
Add in the sprinkles and pulse a couple times.
Roll the mixture into balls, each about 1 tablespoon in size (15-16 balls). Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Place the balls in freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
Add the dark chocolate to a small saucepan, place on the stovetop and melt over low heat. (Or melt the chocolate in your microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between.)
Once the chocolate has fully melted, grab the balls from the freezer and dip them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped balls back on your parchment-lined baking sheet/plate to set.
Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the balls and immediately top with additional sprinkles (or chopped pecans) for decoration.
Store truffles in an airtight container or bag in the fridge or freezer.

*Sprinkles are optional, but they're great for a fun, festive treat.
