    Is there really only 1 gram of sugar?

    I just don’t get it how some people make a spelling error a big deal. This is not a term paper, just a protein bar recipe!

    I’m with you, Karen. These people are paid to put out a professional product and not screw up by misspelling. My dad was a metallurgist who couldn’t spell worth a darn, but was smart enough to have someone proofread his reports. It’s called being sloppy! I know as an IT text writer.

    I understood what you wrote…….some people should get a life. Great recipe, thanks.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. One date has 4.5 grams of sugar. With 2/3 of a cup I’d think that would be around 10-12 dates… so if there’s 8 pieces I’d just guess there’s about 7-8 grams of sugar… And that’s if you aren’t using sweetened coconut.

    Either way 8 grams of sugar from dates are better than 8 grams of sugar from processed corn syrup. I think I might try this recipe out tonight. Seems legit.
