Chef's notes
*If your dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Pat dry before using.
This recipe is fantastic as written, but if you want to change it up, you can try different nut butters like tahini or peanut butter, add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds, and even nix the chocolate for a fruity version by skipping the cocoa powder and dates, adding fruit instead.
