Sorry but these simply do not taste good.

These were pretty darn good! I used the Earth Balance coconut and peanut spread instead of peanut butter and made balls instead of bars, which were rolled in a mixture of two parts powdered sugar to one part cocoa.

I have made endless batches of these and everyone that tries them asks for the recipe. I cut the cocoa powder by 1 tbsp to make a less chocolate flavoured bar. Have tried with sea salt (sweet and slightly salty) and with out the sea salt (more PB/cocoa flavour). Both ways are very good. Look for a brick of dates that you can chop. Not as sticky then. I roll the bar out between 2 pieces of wax paper, place in fridge and then slice with a pizza cutter. I'd love to eat a full serving of them but who really needs that much. This allows smaller bars to be cut.

Made according to the recipe and it is very good. Place in center of large piece of parchment, fold up the sides and chill, then cut into squares. Also made a batch with dried Kalamata figs, almond butter, coconut, roasted almonds and 2 scoops vanilla protein powder. Excellent! One tip: spritz your processor and blade with non-stick spray for easy clean-up.

When I tried the recipe as is I found the peanut butter overpowered everything else (maybe because I used all natural peanut butter?). I ended up adding an extra cup and a half of dates (I used whole honey dates instead of chopped regular), double the coconut and cocoa and approximately 1 tbsp of unrefined coconut oil to keep it moist. I needed a large batch anyway so it worked out well. They were delicious and I will definitely make them again!

Very good. Instead of putting the coconut in the food processor, I formed the mixture in to balls and rolled them in the coconut. They look a little nicer this way :)

Delicious and rich! I used dark cocoa and crunchy natural peanut butter. I was concerned that it needed a little additional sweetness so I added ~1 Tbsp turbinado sugar - next time I will skip this as it doesn't really need it. I used a tsp measuring spoon and shaped the mix into 36 smalls balls. I rolled them in very light confectioners sugar as well to take away some of the stickiness. Made this way the balls are 1 point each on Weight Watchers or 3 points for 2.
