All of these recipes do not have precise measurements so feel free to play around with them to get them how you want them. AIf you put more nuts than date they will be more dry. If you put more dates they will be more gooey. Both are great, so it’s up to you how you like it. Keep in mind also that if you don’t have some of these ingredients or you prefer one type of nut over the other, change it up. Any way you put these together they’re going to be great. Have fun and enjoy! I had a blast making them!

Tip: Before you begin it’s really helpful to process everything first. Here are the approximate amounts you will need: 2 packages of pitted dates, 1 cup cashews, 1 1/2 cups almonds, 1 cup hazelnuts, 1 1/2 cups dried cherries, 2 cups raisins, and 1/2 cup dried unsweetened banana chips, all seperately of course. Be careful how much you blend the nuts. You want them small, but not as fine as meal. Having all the ingredients ready to go makes this much easier.
