I made these as a snack for my family using pretzels instead of cashews (my son has nut allergies). They were tasty! I week have to do a batch with cashews for myself. What other foods have others used in place of nuts in some of the recipes? Thanks!
Worked perfectly with the Pampered Chef snack bar pan my MIL gave me for Christmas. Used a combo of nuts and oats. Even the kiddos liked them.
Looking forward to trying these. Were tasty before the freezer ? Note to self, always check dates are pitted before popping into the processor!
Let us know how you enjoy them! ?
I loved the taste but because there were bits of ‘dangerous to teeth’ date pits in them, they had to be discarded. At the moment we’re obsessed with the no bake peanut butter oat squares but I will have to try these again ? Unfortunately my high speed blender is not functioning so well after the pit incident ?♀️
