SO HOW'D IT GO?
these were pretty cool. i just bought some medjool dates to experiment with and this was really easy.
i used a mini hand chopper for the nuts (i used pecans) and the dates i made a small slit on the long side and the "pit" is actually really small, like an almond, and just cut it up with a knife
i only had lemons so i used zest from that and no coconut (had none, will try it next with it!)
they kinda look like almond roca bars (i guess i shaped mine like that :D ) and are lightly sweet and chewy but not too chewy.
thanks for the recipe!
