Notes
DATES: Fresh and sticky dates work best. If your dates are dry then you will need to soak them in boiling water to soften. If they are too dry the mixture will not stick together.
OPTIONAL ADD IN SUGGESTIONS: This is a great base recipe and perfect for added extras, why not try adding one (or more) of the following Spices (such as vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom etc), cacao or cocoa powder, coconut, hemp seeds.
