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

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.
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.
Absolutely! Skip rolling them in coconut flakes if needed, and ensure all other ingredients are nut-free for a safe alternative.
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.
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.
Yes! Try adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
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.
Yes, as long as all ingredients used are certified gluten-free, this recipe is naturally gluten-free.
Fresh dates are too moist and won’t provide the right texture. Stick with dried dates for the best results.
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.
