We’re all looking for healthy snacks and treats that don’t taste awful, aren’t we? So that’s why we are bringing you this delicious recipe for Cinnamon and Nut Date Bites! They are simple to make, taste delicious, and are actually not bad for you.
The best part of this snack, besides its crunchy nuts, is that it is sweetened naturally with dates. We love to make a bunch of these at one time and then freeze them so we always have a healthy snack on hand when we want it.
