# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes exactly like a Snickers but comes together in minutes.
- You get a boost of energy without the refined sugar crash.
02 -
- Make sure your dates are soft or the dough will crumble apart.
- Chilling the tray first prevents them from sticking to your hands too much.
03 -
- Use a light hand when pulsing so you do not turn the oats into flour.
- Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking while rolling.
