Got a load of dates, what shall I do?

[chipped]

Any good recipes? I don't like them much to snack on but imagine they're good in cakes? My mum has just given me a load, stone less, in a tub.

No idea why, they are just here, in my kitchen, following her visit.

Ooh. Sticky Toffee Pudding!!

Ooh! Yes!

Obviously sticky toffee pudding! Slightly more virtuous are sugar free flapjacks. Blend the dates with apple juice and use instead of golden syrup - they are very good.

sticky toffee pudding for sure. Or you could make cockroach crunch - basically mars bar crispy cake with dates, then smother the top in chocolate.

LOL, thought "lucky woman!" till I saw it was "food"

Date and walnut loaf is nice.

Cockroach crunch?! Who called it that? Must be a Halloween thing.

I am going to go with the virtuous flapjacks so DCs have healthy lunchbox fillers and I've made something with the dates. Two birds

Thanks a lot.

Laughed about 'date' misunderstanding. Read it to dh who looked at me blankly. We have been together too long a looooong time

my mum has always called it cockroach crunch so that's what I grew up with, it's delicious.

some sort of date cake, deffo

Ooh let me know what you think
I had gd in pregnancy but have s really sweet tooth and the dietician told me about them. I still do them now :)

I see you're going with flapjacks, but for next time.. try date slice. DIVINE.

You can stuff them with marzipan and dip them in chocolate, and keep them for Christmas.

Just be yourself and stock up on breath mints and condoms.

Oh wait, you mean...
