@Mindful Yep. Pit the date, flatten, spread pistachio butter, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and drizzle w melted dark chocolate.

Works w cashews and hazelnuts too with their respective nut butters.

I never thought about that. My mother used to love date bread.
I always check carefully.

Mine don't have legs... Are you sure they're dates?

Cockroaches are highly nutritious also 🙂

@Convivial It's all in the preparation . . .

@SunshineGirl could be where I'm going wrong... I didn't realise you're supposed to peel them first...

@Convivial same
Nah they look like coffee beans to me
Mindful · 56-60, F
@greensnacks I'll try to think coffee beans... it's definitely a more palatable thought... or just ... dates

I love dried dates, but never thought of them as resembling roaches.

Chickens would go crazy for both.

Very nice when one makes Date Nut Bars.
These easy no bake old fashioned homemade Date Nut Bars need just 4 ingredients, and you can make them in under 15 minutes.
They're sweet, chewy and nutty and chocolatey all in one and they have no added sugars.

11-12 large Medjool Dates, (380 grams) - pitted and soaked for 5 minutes, drained
1½ cup Mixed Nuts, (255 grams)
¾ cup Shredded coconut, (100 grams)
1⅔ cup Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Chips, (300grams)

Line a 7x11 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal, or use a silicone pan for a non-stick surface and place it on a baking sheet for stability.
Using a food processor blend the dates, nuts and coconut until small pieces of nuts are visible and the mixture is sticky.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly into all corners and flatten the surface. - I place baking paper on top of the pre-flattened mixture then with another pan of the same size flatten the mixture evenly.
Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of water on low heat. Stir frequently until chocolate is melted.
Pour the chocolate evenly over the prepared base.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Use a large, sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut slices..

with sulfides ?
Khenpal1 · M
@Mindful they add it as preservatives Sulfides are chemical compounds containing one or more sulfur.

@Khenpal1 I get them from Costco and I have NOTlooked at the label that closely, but I'm guessing they do have preservatives. :-( I'll have to check.

@ShenaniganFoodie that's kinda cool. Since you're still in business, I'd probably try it!
