These make a great snack or simple healthy dessert that is very yummy! I made using whole natural almonds and some dates DH had brought home. The way I remember this from my childhood is with Medjool dates (I did not have) and blanched almonds. Served with Recipe #502696 very tasty pairing, thanks for the post.

This was easy and very good! I actually ate 4-6 almonds for each date and loved it that way. Thanks! Made for ZWT 2013 for team Hot Stuff.
