Should be very tasty based on the recipe. But why not just use the sun dried dates, prunes, and figs as the snacks during the day? Plus the coconut shreds are avail. frozen and you can add them to yogurt. What is the difference if they are mixed.

That sounds much yummier , Olga !😊

I got it. It gives mom something meaningful to do. When we were in Coswig first time after the lung surgery, I was stressed and felt helpless seeing Ivan in paid and attached to all the tubes and wires. Then the German nurse came and told me - do not sit here doing nothing, start massaging his feet and hands and do it around the clocks, 20 min per a limb. That kept me meaningfully busy:)
