Fast and Sweet

Unexpected guests?

No time to make dessert?

Feel like a little something sweet with your tea?

Here's a dessert or snack to put together in just a few minutes. All you need are dates and almonds, walnuts or marzipan.

1. Use a small sharp knife to pit the date. Check that the inside is clean.

2. Fill the pitted date with a whole almond, half a walnut or some marzipan

3. Arrange the filled dates on a small plate

That's it. Unless you want to sprinkle some powdered sugar over the dates.

Dates are quite sweet. But they're also high in fiber and potassium. Nuts are high in healthy monounsaturated fats.

If you're looking for delicious marzipan, try the not-too-sweet Israeli marzipan from Kfar Tabor. It's made with almonds, sugar, water, glucose and alcohol. It actually tastes like almonds rather than sugar!

Their (mainly Hebrew) website is www.marzipan-tavor.co.il
