Process dates, oats, peanut butter, chocolate and salt in a food processor until well blended, about 45 seconds. Divide the mixture evenly into 16 balls, about 2 tablespoons each.
Break candy canes into large pieces; place in the food processor. Process until very finely chopped, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl. Roll the balls in the crushed candy canes until well coated.
Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats that are labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.
To make ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Keep these bites at room temperature instead of the fridge to prevent the candy cane coating from melting due to moisture.
