    To those asking, I have no idea how long these keep in the fridge. They keep forever in the freezer. But, if you're making 12 at a time, I don't think shelf-life will be an issue!

    For all you calorie counters such as my self, I made this and added honey roasted almonds, pecans and a few macadamia nuts, and put this into a 9x9 pan totaled 1,515 calories for the whole pan. Now. Cut that into 6 large bars? That's just about 250 calories per bar. Not too shabby.

    Instead of using coconut to combine the ingredient, You can use tahini (sesame past). Tahini and dates go very well together. In middle east, tahini is not only used in savoury dishes, but is used in sweet dishes. One simple recipe, you can stuff the dates with any type of nuts (ground or whole nuts) spread some tahini one top, and you'll have an easy and healthy recipe.

    This is great! I've been making these for years! There are also so many variations you can come up with using this. My favorite flavor was using Mexican vanilla extract, with cocoa powder, fresh toasted peanuts, coconut oil, and chopped up Mexican cacao nibs. To enhanced the chocolate I skip the salt and the liquid I add a splash of balsamic vinegar and dark soy sauce... it really does something!

      +Jacqueline Pham Are you 12 years old? Where exactly was he hating? He stated a fact, which is a true one. This generation is full of insecure self-absorbed people who were raised in a bubble. God forbid, one has an opinion different than theirs...... If you do not like the freedom of speech, go to Cuba!

      Not really healthy actually with all the sugars. Beside health is not what this channel is about, its good food. You are wondering into a sex shop expecting to find children toys.

    I don't comment often on youtube but I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate this video. I actually am vegan since about a year or so. I still watch your videos because I like your skills and your wit. The part about the hybrids in the parking lot made me giggle. Thanks for this recipe and including something vegan :) Not all of us are preachy and we very much enjoy some good food just as everyone else.

    I seriously don't know why people are hating on Chef John for his voice. So what he raises his voice at the end of his sentences? You don't come here to judge him on his voice! People come here for his food, his humor, and his personality. If you simply just come here to judge him on everything, then just piss off! Chef John is perfect the way he is, and he does not need people hating on his voice.

    I just made these with my mom, so good!! The only thing was, we have a smaller food processor so the recipe itself was too big for it. The recipe is a good amount, so next time we'll split the ingredients and do two small batches so it gets mixed easier.
