Hi there, Just wondering whether these would work if the dates were replaced with something else – say rice malt syrup or stevia? Cheers
I’m so sorry Fiona, I’ve only just seen your comment. Being a new website, I’ve only just seen your comment come in! I’m so sorry, I haven’t experimented with stevia so I couldn’t comment on that, you could try replacing them with prunes, would that work? Is there a specific reason you don’t like dates?
What sort of millet is used? Puffed Millet?
Are these lunchbox friendly?
Hi Odette, sorry, I’ve been out of coverage for the week. I just used normal millet, I don’t recall it being puffed. In terms of lunchbox friendly, they would probably get pretty soft in a lunchbox at this time of the year, they are best kept in the fridge.
