These look amazing
Thank you
These look super delicious and do very healthy, perfect for guilt free snacking .
These look super similar to energy balls… Do they provide the same energy gain? Will be mega if they do as these look far easier to make
★★★★★
I don’t think I’ve had energy balls so I can’t really compare the two. The natural sugar from the dates along with the fat and protein from the nuts will definitely give you some long lasting energy.
This looks so yummy and the picture is great too. Thanks for sharing! I’d definitely be trying this out soon.
Thank you. Enjoy.
Dates to the rescue to help satiate a sweet tooth! These sound delicious. Also, I love pecan anything 🙂
Me too, pecans are so good.
Aha! I’ve been looking for something simple and healthy for that giant bag of dates and pecans I just HAD to buy from Costco. This looks sooo good! Can’t wait to give it a spin!
