Whole foods easter eggs ****

For me, this recipe continues to be exceptional. It's so simple, yet the results are far more than the sum of its parts. Somehow date and cacao together do a tango so fine, the artistry is remarkable and fascinating. Then again, it's probably just me. But an entire batch of these in our freezer doesn't last long. Just saying.
