Notes
* If you don't have Medjool dates, you can use any dates soaked in warm water for 1 hour, to soften** I used a monk fruit sweetened maple syrup. To keep it refined sugar free, you can use pure maple syrup or agave nectar. No Bake Paleo Vegan Hot Chocolate Cookies (Keto) should be kept refrigerated at all times. They are freezer-friendly too.
