Notes
- Use soft, sticky Medjool dates. If your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes, then drain well before using.
- Do not over-process the nuts before adding the dates. You want small pieces, not nut butter.
- The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers. If it crumbles, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Use a small cookie scoop for even-size bites.
- Chill the brownie bites before serving so they become firmer and easier to eat.
