SO HOW'D IT GO?
Can I substitute Agave for the Maple syrup??
I weighed the dates, 8 oz of dates is 17 medium-sized deglet nour dates.
OMG! They sell these at a market place near me (or something like them) and I have been DYING to recreate them! I will try and review as soon as I can.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
haha
I tweaked the recipe a little, and they came out great.
