My landlord brought me a bag of dates, I had no clue any to do with them. I went online and ran across this recipe. Man, these turned out freaking amazing. I did substitute the sesame oil with coconut oil and added some mini semisweet chocolate morsels, it’s like eating recess pieces… so good.
Love em just the way they are
These were delicious! Like others, I did not use sesame oil; substituted almond butter and they were perfect. You can also roll in cocoa powder if you want a bit of variety. Will definitely make again!
Awesome! I substituted coconut oil for sesame oil as suggested. I’m going to have to freeze some of these so I don’t eat them all right away.
Loved these. Easy to make, can be made ahead of time. We made so many we took them to a pot luck the next evening and we think they were actually better the next day.
Made these using a half teaspoon of sesame oil. Wish I wouldn’t have done that. Next time I will make them using light olive oil because all I taste is sesame it drowns out the dates and coconut. Otherwise this is a good recipe.
I’ve made it twice, they were so good. I lowered the salt and decided I liked it better with the listed amount. I’m a Weight Watcher and they are 6 points, sadly. But, I’m pre-diabetic and the sweet from the dates along with the nuts isn’t as bad as a lot of desserts.
I made this recipe with coconut oil instead of sesame oil . I don’t like the flavour of sesame . I keep them in the freezer in a ziplock instead of the fridge . Good healthy snack .
These are yummy but we didn’t care for the sesame oil as it is a really strong taste. Next time I think I’ll leave this out or susti
This was a great option to make for our vegan neighbors rather than the holiday cookies I make for everyone else. I wasn’t sure about the sesame oil, but they’re really good.
At first I thought there was too much salt but after eating on these little beauties for a couple days they are growing on me and the salt flavor is diminishing. Used half the amount of sesame oil as well which I recommend if you are sensitive to it. Yummy little snack!
