Whenever I am recipe testing with chocolate, I make sure I stop by my bff’s place so she can taste my creations and give me her two cents.
I certainly know healthy desserts are not everyone’s cup of tea, so It’s nice to have a few people around who have similar taste and appreciate my efforts.

Love dates, and they work so well in baked things. They add tons of flavor, sweetness, and moistness. Terrific recipe — I’ve love one of these. Or two. Or three. 🙂
