Almond Stuffed Dates -------------------- A "sugary" treat that seems paleo enough is gooey dates, each with a roasted almond shoved inside. We did this over Christmas, and I ate these (mostly) instead of tempting cookies and things. We used raw, unsalted whole almonds, and roasted them ourselves. Roast them on medium-high heat dry, right in a frying pan. Just sit there and watch them carefully to make sure they don't burn, moving them around and stuff. Then cool, and shove one each inside a date. I like the gooiest dates for this. Very tasty, and not too caloric if you only eat a few! BTW - these are good for potassium and fiber, and trace minerals like calcium, zinc, etc. Also, the oven would work just fine. I might use the broiler in this case, but still watch very carefully. When done, they might have the slightest hint of black on the spot where they touched the metal - no biggie.

It's a little soft for fudge, but has a similar bittersweetrich experience as chocolate. It helped me get off a significant chocolate addiction. From: Lynnet Bannion on the PaleoFood list Post and/or read Comments Carob-Honey Squares ------------------- 1 envelope or 1 T. unflavored gelatin 1/4 c. unsweetened fruit juice 1 c. raw honey 3 T. oil 1/2 c. carob powder Soften gelatin in fruit juice. Heat honey. Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Add oil and carob powder. Beat vigorously until fluffy. Turn into oiled square pan. Chill. Cut into squares. Makes 9 squares.

Only use enough honey to cause the fruits to stick together. Or substitute suet for the honey.

C water, but not as long, then I added carob powder, a dash of salt, rolled them into balls, rolled them in the carob powder and put them in the freezer, they sure taste good!
