These muffins were delicious! My bag of dates (8 oz.) were slightly less than the amount called for, but they were enough to make the muffins. I made the sauce, but we found it was a bit too sweet (even for my husband's heavy sweet tooth) and overwhelmed the flavor of the muffins. Next time, and there will definitely be a next time, I'll use the cream cheese like the other reviewer (Nat K). A cream cheese spread would be a delicious touch, too.

I made a double batch of these, foolishly thinking that I'd have some left over even after including them on my muffin-&-cupcake tray (as lures) during a park-wide garage sale! Sadly for my other half & I, these were the first to go (we only had 2 each for ourselves!) ~ Great tasting, especially with the sauce, & I would change a thing with this great keeper of a recipe ~ Love those dates!

Yum yum yum. These turned out great and so easy to make. I used about 200g of dates instead of 240g as I got tired of chopping them! I didn't make the toffee sauce but instead made a cream cheese frosting with golden syrup topped with a walnut which I think tasted great. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing.
