Heather Saldanha says
I made these but my mixture was not doughy. I know my dates and raisins were rather dry, was this the reason? I plan to make them again in the near future.
Ruchi says
Thanks for trying the recipe Heather. Yes that could possibly be the reason.
Mixture becomes quite sticky when blended and this helps in binding the energy bites. If you not vegan than adding a teaspoon of honey would solve the issue.
Heather Saldanha says
Yes, thanks. I knew some liquid would help, but this is exactly what I should have done.
Ruchi says
My pleasure.
Do give it a try again and I am sure you will be happy with the results.

Reecha says
Yummy. I would like to try, but don’t have food processor. What is the alternative?
Ruchi says
Reecha, if you prefer chunkier pieces than use a blender/mixer. But if you like small pieces than use a grinder.
