YUM! These look delicious and so easy to make!
Great- Enjoy!
Yum! This is one of my favorite flavors, so I’m pumped to now make my own. You’re the best, my dear!
Hello! Do you think these would work without the almonds? Substituting pecans or pine nuts perhaps? I am annoyingly allergic to almonds…
Hi there! Of course- I would do pecans but play it by ear- They are a little oilier than almonds 🙂
Good morning. I’ve tried making these 2x now and I am unable to get them to chewy. Mine seem to fall apart easily. Any suggestions on what I might do to do a better job at getting them to look like the photo?
Hi there! Ensure the dates are soft and/or add some extra liquid
I used walnuts instead of cashews because I didn’t have any. They were delicious!!! I will definitely make these again.
LOVE THAT!
Used walnuts for the cashews because that’s what I had on hand. My dates were def a little dry – added 2 TB water. Also added 2 tap drk cocoa powder. Yummy!
Love the changes in it, YUM!
