# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It satisfies that intense chocolate and peanut craving with zero guilt.
  • The texture is incredibly close to the real deal but made entirely from whole foods.
02 -
  • If your dates are dry soak them in warm water for ten minutes before processing.
  • The dough needs to be cold to hold its shape so do not skip the chilling step.
03 -
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent the dough from sticking to your palms.
  • Process the oats alone first if you want a smoother base before adding the dates.
