Notes

You can swap in cashews, walnuts, pecans for almonds. 
The natural sweetness from dates is sufficient for this recipe. If you need more sweetness, consider adding maple syrup, agave syrup or any healthy alternative sweetener. 
You may have to pause while processing to scrape the dates mixture from the sides of the food processor container. 
Freeze them for longer shelf life.
