Just made these, they are so delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't have any coconut so I used some chopped up almonds in place of the coconut. I also left out the salt and they were still very delicious.

These were delicious! I didn't add the salt and used sweetened coconut because that's all I had on hand. I was a bit leery about making these since I'm not a huge fan of dates but the flavors that come through most distinctly are the cocoa and peanut butter. Even my 1-year-old enjoyed it!

I made these bars, didn't come out sticky, but maybe I mixed it too long. Besides that these bars are awesome, instead of six bars, I cut mine into smaller pieces and gave them to some very picky 6 and 7 year old girls and they devoured them without a problem. Thank you very much for this recipes. This is a new school and home favorite and the bonus is there is no sugar and kids think they are eating chocolate!

These are excellent tasting bars. I keep some in my frig when I need a good "pick me up". I also take them to work to snack on. Definate keeper recipe.

Really delicious! I used almond butter instead of PB. This is a great option for a high protein sweet treat.

These are FABULOUS! I especially like the fact that there is absolutely zero sugar. I never thought of using dates to sweeten my treats but you've sure made a believer out of me! Yum, yum, yum!

Brilliant! We had an unexpected gluten free visitor and I just whizzed up this recipe as a snack.

I subbed carob powder for the cocoa. There was no stickiness to these! Without a food processor, I just finely chopped the dates, and mixed everything together, then shaped into balls. Delicious!

I wouldn't agree that there is NO sugar in these, as the chopped dates are generally coated in sugar, commercial peanut butter has added sugar, and packaged coconut is usually sweetened. But they are excellent, and a much healthier choice than the traditional no bake cookies which have lots of butter & sugar in them.

Super delicious treat!! My sis, my husband and I gave up having anything with added sugar for 30 days (started the 1st). I was really needing a treat besides fruit and this recipe did the trick. Super tasty. Hopefully other people that have made this used peanut butter without sugar and unsweetened coconut...I can only imagine how sweet it is if they didn't. I'm not a fan of dates normally, but all you taste in this in chocolate and peanut butter, with a nint of coconut. SO DELICIOUS! I can survive without sugar forever, now that I have found this. Great recipe!
