Hi again, Amanda from ‘Simple home cook’ back to share another recipe with you.
My opinion – slices are awesome! They are quicker than making cookies and much easier than cakes. This one only takes a few minutes to throw together and your kids will love it. You don’t even have to feel guilty eating it either as it nice and healthy.
Enjoy,

- 2 ½ cups pitted dates (350g)

May 5, 2016 at 11:10 amHi – this slice looks great, but my kids don’t like peanut butter and can’t then take it to school (nut-free school). Can you recommend anything else that would be the same sort of consistency that isn’t a nut based butter?

Thanks for sharing your recipes – now all I have to do is find a way to make them and then not eat the whole lot on the same day!
