  1. I am in heaven about the ingredients in this recipe. I love how you have made a healthy almond joy, which happens to be a weakness of mine. I have all the ingredients and i cannot wait to make these.

  2. Wow these little bites look like such a great guilt-free dessert! I love dates and I can’t wait to give these a try.

  3. I’m usually quite meh about almond nuts on their own (more of a cashew nut fan really) but I can’t resist anything covered in chocolate and I will absolutely annihilate a bunch of almond joys so it’s great to know how to make them!

  4. I’m always amazed that people comment when they have not even tried the recipe. Not very helpful.
