      Hi Anna, several of these recipes use dates. You could also maybe sub them for another dried fruit. Or the DIY Dark Chocolate Almond Bars would be delicious with dried fruit added. Hope that helps!

    I would have loved to try these recipes but most of them include the two of my many allergies, peanutbutter and chocolate. Hope everyone enjoyed them.
