Notes

*All the dates need to be pitted. I prefer to use soft, medium sized dates. If you use medjool dates you may want to soak them a few hours before use. You will also need to adjust the recipe a little, as medjool dates are larger than the ones I use. **Stevia is not really raw, but I don’t mind using it in my recipes. You can substitute stevia for one teaspoon agave, but I tend to notice that stevia works better.
