Rachel – I haven’t used them but I’m thinking the same amount in grams in probably your best bet as they are larger, correct. Just weigh out 140g worth, you should be fine. Hope you like them!

REALLY looking forward to trying this. I usually use Medjool dates. Any experience with these? I highly doubt I should use 20 of them, right? Any idea how many Medjool dates would equal the 20 that you used? :S haha

Just made these, and they are a hit!! Would love to make these as part of my holiday goodies baskets- How do you store them? in the fridge? do they keep well?

Oh my, just realized there was this link from the no bake thumbprints – cashews are my favorite nut. Yum!

Freezing would be fine but I’m not sure how they texture wil be once defrosted. If you try it let us know!

Is it ok to freeze these?

Yvette – That’s pretty normal. It’s the oil coming out of the nuts.

Yvette, mine were really oily, too. I just assumed that this was normal?

I just made these and they are really good. But mine are really oily…does this mean I didn’t process the “dough” long enough? (I also used really cheap cashews-maybe they were oilier than they should be.)

I started with a few pulses and then let it run. If it starts to drag I’ll pick up the whole unit and shake in towards the blades. I do this for single serve bana ice cream too… link to greenlitebites.com <–video

Sort of like a Lara Bar. I am making them now. Unless you have a super powerful Magic Bullet, I would like to know how you did it – mine is about ready to burn out. Any tips?

Loved these! I couldn’t bring myself to make 10 g balls–so they ended up being a slightly more indulgent 15 g–but still a very virtuous snack.

Liz – I was going to make other varieties with nuts but I didnt think of using raisins! I don’t see why they wouldn’t work but I’m not sure the proportions would be the same. Dates are much stickier and have almost a carmel consistency.

These look yummy! Purchased all the ingredients today and will be making these this week.

I tried them today (and I once before tried dates and wasn’t impressed) – and the balls are sooooo good!!!
Right now they are chilling in the fridge, but I loved my sample.

Thanks!!

Could you use a different kind of nut and raisins instead? Just tring to use what I have in the pantry already.

I am currently eating these and they are amazing! The hubby couldn’t believe what was in them when he tasted them, they are that good. Thanks, Roni, for another wonderful recipe.

I can’t wait to make these. I already bought dates to try my hand at homemade Larabars, but these look even better! Here’s hoping both of the 11 yo twins will like them. Usually, if one likes something the other one doesn’t. Plus, it’s something my Gluten Free hubby could eat. Bonus!

These look so good! I might gift them to my office in little celophane gift bags for the holidays!

These look amazing – I can’t wait to try! Quick question: your nutritional info shows all 5 grams of fat per serving to come from saturated fat. Is that a typo? Thanks!

that’s it—dates and cashews added to the shopping list!

Dates? hmmm…never bought dates, but I am going to COSTCO tomorrow. & they have the best prices on nuts, so I may have to try these.
