Even though my two grown sons aren't big "sweets eaters", they think these candies are exceptional. The big peanut butter flavor is a hit combined with holiday staples like walnuts and dates.

This candy is a bit too chewy for me. I think I would prefer it if it was a little bit crispier.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I really enjoyed this candy. The sweetness of the dates is balanced out by the nuts and spices.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover dates. I had a bunch of dates that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this candy.
