These date rolls are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over after I make a smoothie, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. They turned out great!

These date rolls were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter to the dough next time.

These date rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of honey I use next time.
