boiled in chinese dessert and soups to add sweetness
you can also depit them and stuff with glutinous rice flour/ peanut butter
theres also date brownies and date cakes and date pudding

but yes they are good enough to be eaten on its own as a snack

>>13134817
wow if you love dates so much why don't you marry it

>>13134869
>he hasn't married a date

Theyre so fucking good by themselves. Super calorie dense so don't go too hard on them.

Sticky date pudding with some icecream and brandy custard/cream is probably the best dessert on earth.

There are many raw vegan desserts that incorporate these. I love them too. Be careful though, I once got a semi old pack on the shelf at a local brewery store and one of them was infested with what looked like small worms. Always tear them open before eating them. It also makes it easier to avoid the giant seed in them.

Each date contains around 58g of sugar, try not to eat more than two, unless you're lifting

I'm beginning to substitute dates with pecans for snack cakes like donuts and little debbie's after learning that they contain unhealthy oils that can clog your arteries.

You only have to soak the dates overnight in some water in the fridge and the next day it tastes like ripen figs. I also blend the soften dates with pecans and other nuts with a fork and roll it into a ball.

I have never encountered worms in my dates before.

Cook them into your poridge.

If I am dating/trying to fuck a girl who claims she is vegan I'll use these in the dessert course for the third date at my place. Soak half them in hot brandy with a few other dried ingredients like blueberries and raisins. I'll pick out the other fruits and puree/pass just the dates. Going in from the stem deseed and hollow out the other half of dates. Fill them with some crushed nuts like candied hazelnuts the brandy rehydrated berries and pipe in the puree. A sweet easy kinda boozy dessert course that will have you eating stinky vegan ass within the hour

fill it with marzipan and coat it with some chocolate and you got some tasty pralines

>>13135783
Got any pics?

>>13134817
dates and cream cheese, OP

>>13134817
lots of things can be done with dates, but I honestly just eat them as candy
I have made bacon wrapped dates for events before and people love them, but in my opinion it doesn't do enough to transform them to make the massive effort worth it

I do use them as sweetener though - if you're making a fruit cake, then you can't do much better than chopped dates

Grind them up and use them as a sugar replacement in jams, shakes, smoothies, etc

for a real treat look for these puppies at your local walmart

>>13134865
My mom put it in dakjuk

>>13136289
Seconded. Bacon wrapped and stuffed with goat cheese and a whole roasted almond. Thank me later.

Look into middle-eastern/north african recipes, they often use dates together with for example lamb, Very good imo.

>>13137911
They work wonders in smoothies

>>13137998
Woah. That seems like it would be too much.

>>13134817
>What can I do with these things?
well stop eating them for one. they're pure sugar. and very sticky. bad for teeth, you know?

>>13138532
>well stop eating them
No.

>>13134817
My supermarket sells these and they're delicious, they're just compressed little date-nuggets rolled in coconut. Two ingredients. But just be aware dates are so sugary that this is basically candy, but it's good-ass candy

>>13135987
are these the ones stuffed with oysters?

>>13138573
I can vouch for these they're good

>>13138862
nah, cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon
I usually use chevre

>>13138573
They look good but I imagine they'd be pricey. Dates alone are pretty expensive.

my weird idea is to stuff them with cacao nibs. so you get a sweet chocolatey treat that doesnt melt under heat, good for backpacking if you are worried about choco chips melting. anyway its not bad, and its crunchy.

Mix them with chopped nuts and cocoa powder for based chef johns chocolate energy bars

How did Chef John have the audacity to lay claim to such a common recipe?

>>13140035
don't know don't care.

he uses "half a pinch" of cayenne which does absolutely nothing.

>>13137998
holy smokes

>>13135062
Ok don't get an old pack then

>>13140035
You can slap your name on any recipe and claim it's your own. Every celebrity chef and mom blogger does it. They steal from strangers and each other.

I cannot for the life of me imagine why some people are so concerned with sugar. I eat entire bags of candy on the reg and I'm 6' 170lbs.
