These low-carb candies are made with dates, which impart all their natural sweetness and a pleasant toffee flavor even without the addition of milk or sugar. The dates are simmered in water and then mixed with peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, crushed graham crackers, and oatmeal. The mixture is formed into balls that can be decorated with any toppings of your choice: coconut flakes, crushed graham crackers, granola, or chopped peanuts. These handmade sweets are not only healthy and delicious, but also look very elegant. They can even be beautifully boxed and given as a gift.
