You’re right. How rude of me. And thanks for taking the time to point it out Nuuner. I just think if you’re going to post a recipe in a public forum, it would be nice to make sure all the details are double checked. Doesn’t it make you wonder if there are typos in the quantities or steps? They don’t say anything about which jar to use, for example. I don’t really want to waste all those ingredients on a recipe I don’t trust. I guess I’ll wait to see if someone else tries it and see if it works. By the way, try cutting a 9×9" square into 8 2×4" pieces… let me know how that works out for ya!
Calorielab.com quoted 1 cup of dried dates as having 113g of sugar. For 1/8 of the 2/3 cups here, youre looking at 9g sugar from the dates. (Even if that is inaccurate, dates are quite sweet and a great binder in this recipe. I would definitely guess there to be more than 1g!) Theyre pretty much the only sugar source, and all naturally-sourced sugars, but I agree that this recipe is off in a couple aspects ;)
You do bring up some great points Karen. There are so many online recipes that do not work out as they are either not tested and posted or posted incorrectly. Like in any community, it is good to share all information so that all people are aware.
Very dry. No flavor.
I didn’t submit the recipe, I just saw the personal attack on whoever wrote it and thought it was rude.
