Jessica, If the dates aren't fresh, soak them for at least an hour and drain the water. They will blend easier with the nuts.
My version of this includes coconut (fresh or dried) and/or coconut water depending on how dry the content is. I may try adding spices during the holiday season. And sometimes I dehydrate for a few hours if it's too moist.

Are these dates dried or fresh? Most recipes don't specify and I guess that probably means fresh, but I have a large container of dried dates and wonder if I could use those instead? Any ideas?

i tried this and it was delicious. i ground cacao nibs to a powder (i thought it would be "wasteful", but actually it made quite a lot of powder). i would recommend using equal parts walnuts to almonds (you can get raw one online in bulk) though because the walnuts get quite greasy.

I just got cocoa at the store so I'm going to try this. I'm going to take several versions of this on a road trip- some with pecans and some with coconut and macadamias. Thanks!
