Where to Buy Ingredients

Vegan dates and carob candies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute carob powder with cocoa powder?

Yes, you can use cocoa powder instead of carob for a richer chocolate flavor, but note that cocoa is more bitter, so you may want to adjust sweetness.

How long do these vegan candies last, and how should I store them?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months for longer shelf life.

Can I make these candies nut-free?

Absolutely! Skip rolling them in coconut flakes if needed, and ensure all other ingredients are nut-free for a safe alternative.

What can I use instead of dates for a lower-sugar option?

Try dried figs or prunes, but note they will alter the taste. For a low-carb version, consider using a sugar-free date substitute or nut butter mixed with a low-carb sweetener.

Do I need a high-speed blender for this recipe?

A food processor works best, but a high-speed blender can also do the job. If the mixture is too thick, scrape the sides frequently and add a splash more water if needed.

Can I add other flavors or mix-ins to these candies?

Yes! Try adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

How can I make these candies firmer?

Chill the mixture for 20-30 minutes before rolling to make it easier to handle. For even firmer candies, add a tablespoon of coconut flour or ground nuts.

Are these candies gluten-free?

Yes, as long as all ingredients used are certified gluten-free, this recipe is naturally gluten-free.

Can I use fresh dates instead of dried ones?

Fresh dates are too moist and won’t provide the right texture. Stick with dried dates for the best results.

What’s the best way to serve these candies?

They’re great as a snack, dessert, or even as a sweet energy boost. Serve them chilled or at room temperature with a sprinkle of extra carob or coconut for presentation.
