    I made these Homemade No-Bake Energy Bars, placed them in the refrigerator for about 3-hours. After slicing them into bars they fell apart, like there was nothing holding them together, however they were very tasty. I processed the dates by them self before adding all the other ingredients. While I was processing the dates, I noticed they were fairly dry and not very sticky. I completed the recipe and they just fell apart while cutting them into bars. Did I use the wrong type of Dates??
