Preparation

Step 1

Combine dates, water & lemon juice in medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat breaking up any large pieces of dates with spoon until mixture resembles a thick paste, 15-20 minutes. Stir in honey, peanut butter, cocoa powder, butter & salt until evenly combined. Stir in graham crackers and oats. Remove from heat.

Lightly mist a baking sheet with Pam. Drop level tablespoons of the cookie mixture onto the prepared pan. Refrigerate until just chilled and set, about 20 minutes.

Put desired toppings in small bowl. Roll each cookie in desired topping and flatten slightly into plump disk. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled.
