Usually, I grind up the dates in the cuisinart or blender and it is such a pain to get it to mix and it always comes out to chunky. I decided to use my Greenstar like a Champion, and the date puree was amazing, no water needed. Clean-up was difficult, but any appliance that you put dried dates is difficult. I was super impressed with how the greenstar made a velvety date fudge to add the cacao to. It is a great machine. I mixed the date fudge with dried cacao that I had picked and dried myself then ground into flour and put through a sifter. I then kneaded half a pound of sifted cacao into one pound of date " fudge " added a few dried spices and rolled flat. I then 3x3 inch square of flat " chocolate fudge " and wrapped it around a frozen cherry. When it thawed, the cherry center was liquid and sweet in a fudgy chocolate shell. Many friends (including non-raw) were blown away by their ALL RAW valentine's " chocolate covered cherries " ! New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC for low, low rates.
