Thursday Treat night! The state of affairs in the world today is absolutely frightening! I am still on the hunt for TP and trying to use all the stuff I have in my pantry so I don’t have to go to any stores. This Covid 19 has everyone on edge. My son said someone coughed at work and was sent to get tested for the virus.
I have had a box of dates sitting in my fridge for a few months and wanted to use them up. I thought what to make? I ended up making Date muffins. I can’t even remember what possessed me to buy dates…

Annette’s Review
Well, these were easy to make. The recipe I found recommended using walnuts but I used cashews as that is all I had on hand. Hardest part of the recipe was chopping the nuts and the dates. I chopped those up and quickly mixed it all together. Made exactly 12 muffins. They browned up nice and were done in about 15-16 minutes. I loved how they puffed up. They were delicious! Yummy!!
