Explain the importance of the dates we used in preparing this dessert. Are they available in your country?.
That fruit is readily available in my locality, you can see it in almost all the markets where I live. Even though it is expensive like you have few pieces in so much money it is very expensive but the nutritional value what more than the price.
The fiber content in it helps to improves digestive system, it also helps in inducing natural labor, it helps ripen the cervix and stimulate contractions faster.

Although there is no occasion in my area that these dates are not bar is being prepared as a desert, but I think it can be shared in a wedding or children's party or get together party. So anywhere that they are having a party I think it is suitable.
I know in some places they used to share any snacks baked with flour in the party so instead of using that someone can easily prepare this as a deserts for the party.
It is such a nutritious desert that one needs to prepare at home or for any party that has to do with children because over here it is only children that eat sweet things like this. We Nigerians, especially the adults we are not used to eating all these deserts so it's only fits children in this locality.
So what I think about it, is very good It is nutritious, It worth preparing, worth having in the house. If you have any child at home they will like the nuts so much. My daughter likes it so much and so it will be part of her dessert meal. I usually blend nuts and dates for her or sometimes I add it in her meals she likes it so much so in addition of chocolate and honey to it then freezing it, I think she will like it best.
