Check out this date candy recipe from Feasting on Fitness. With nothing more than: dates, pecans, coconut, vanila extract and cocoa powder, you can make something to satisy your sweet tooth that still contains evolutionarily acceptable ingredients. Is it high in sugar? Yes, it is, but you made it, and there’s no hidden weirdness. Even so, can you overdo it? Of course! Sugar is sugar, and excessive amounts will do all sorts of terrible things to you. However, it’s all about moderation, not deprivation, and we’re always interested in new and interesting recipes.

Thank you for the blog reference, CrossFit South Baltimore! You guys rock! I hope my “pecan fudge truffles” can be a healthier option for those craving some sugar. I just made some (and am futilely resisting having one right now!) using peppermint extract and they are DELICIOUS! Hope you enjoy them too!
Keep up the great blogging! I enjoy your posts!
Best wishes,
Kristy
