Giant caramely medjool dates are so delicious but they are extremely sweet. This recipe helps to balance the natural date sugar with some protein and fat grams from nut and seeds making a satisfying healthy treat. They’re a great project to do with kids who can pick and choose what to stuff in their dates. My kids love making platters of these treats for play dates and special events.
