Place the seitan cubes in a food processor. Pulse in short bursts for 20 to 30 seconds, scraping down the sides often, until the seitan is broken down into coarse crumbs.
In a small microwave-safe bowl or over a stove, combine the almond butter, honey, and water. Heat for 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture is fluid, then whisk in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the seitan crumbs to a mixing bowl and toss with the cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the top and stir well to form a thick dough. If the dough feels too crumbly, add water half a tablespoon at a time; if it is very sticky, let it rest for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to firm up for 30 minutes. When the time is up, slightly wet your hands and scoop the dough, rolling it into 6 even bites that hold their shape when squeezed.
