Useful tips for Hula Bites

Feeling tropical? Try our Hawaiian Salsa or our Pina Colada Smoothie!

You can find unsweetened pineapple as well as coconut flakes at most grocery stores. The dates have plenty sweetness.

You'll want to pulse the mixture until it has a texture similar that's consistent, but where you can still see the individual ingredients.

The mixture is sticky (because of the dates), but remarkably easy to get out of the container.

This is a messy recipe. But one that would be fun to make with kids :)

Serve near the desserts!

And don't feel the need to list every ingredient -- ignorance is bliss!
