Tips for Date & Graham Cracker Log
- Make sure to heat the dates on low heat so that they don’t burn.
- The coconut oil helps to soften the dates a little more.
- We used Graham crackers but you can experiment with any number of add-ins, such as your favorite nuts! Almonds & pistachios would be great for this!
How to store Date & Graham Cracker Log?
This log keeps for at least 2 weeks at room temperature.
