Dates, nuts and tahini are practically made for each other\u2014dates are sweet and tahini has an agreeable nutty flavor, mix them together in a layered fashion with some pistachios, cashews, almonds and walnuts, and you get a balanced dessert that can be eaten casually any time of day, and the good think is that it can be made ahead of time, but I would not serve it when entertaining, simple because the bars may crumble and may not look photogenic, but they are good enough to keep them in my fridge whenever the sugar crave hits, I cut a piece and enjoy the combo, and I know I am eating something healthy and delectable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toast the nuts!<\/h2>\n

Toasting your nuts before adding to the dates brings out their natural oils and turns them crispy and fragrant. I toasted the nuts separately in a skillet over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stiring constantly to prevent scorching.<\/p>\n
