Ingredients Overview
Dates: Medjool dates because they are larger, juicer, and more caramel-like in taste than other common types.
Dark chocolate: You can use any chocolate you like; for a vegan and Pareve version, use dark dairy-free chocolate chip.
Peanut Butter: Countless options of peanut butter are available in grocery stores today, but not all of them are created equal. A good rule of thumb for choosing healthy, high-quality peanut butter is to look for one with the fewest ingredients. Ideally, the only ingredients should be peanuts or peanuts and salt.
FAQs
