Hello! I just made the healthy date bars. Easy recipe. The only thing is an 8x8 was almost to big. I ended up using a 6x9.5 which was perfect. Just wanted to pass that along fire whatever. They’re chilling in the fridge now and I can’t wait to try them out! Thanks!
ReplyHey. I am curious how long these stay fresh and how you store them? Thanks!
ReplyYou can store these bars up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
ReplyWow! These are sooo yummy. Taste like cake but healthy. Great recipe.
ReplyThese are fantastic. I make a couple of batches each week as my family loves them and they don’t last very long. So easy to make too. Thank you
ReplyLooks a delicious recipe, I look forward to trying them out. I have two questions: 1) what other nuts can be used in place of walnuts? and 2) Do the bars soften quite a bit once out of the fridge? I'd like to use them on long hikes, so am hoping they can not become soft & gooey? Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!
ReplyThese are amazing! We make these every week and my family and I eat one daily as a treat. I also bring these biking as a nice mid bike snack. We add 4 figs and 1/2 cup of hemp seeds to the other ingredients. We cannot get enough!
