    I made these with a few changes. 1. Dried Cherries instead of Dates. 2. Added another TBL of water. 3. Baked for 60 mins.
    Turn out good;).

    Michele, did you soak your almonds first? I haven’t tried making this but have tried something similar and I found it dry the first time because I hadn’t soaked my almonds long enough. Also if you like sweeter you could try agave or even a little bit of stevia instead of extra honey. Another great binder/ sweetener is medjool dates!

    Karen, a recipe can not be professional!
    An action of a person can be!

    I just made this and it turned out really good for me. Maybe my taste buds are just used to eating this kind of stuff. You have to remember they label it as a protein bar. If you’re expecting a brownie you’re gonna be disappointed. (Adding some salt will help bring out the flavor.)

    For the record I tried it in the Wild Side jar but it wasn’t working out so I switched to the Twister jar. Next time I might try it with peanuts too.
