Additional Tips

For extra crunch and flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds and peanuts separately before mixing—this enhances their nuttiness and prevents the mixture from becoming soggy.
If you prefer a vegan version, substitute desi ghee with coconut oil, which pairs well with the natural sweetness of dates and coconut sugar.
Shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or press into a lined tray and cut into bars for convenient snacking and attractive presentation at gatherings.
To extend shelf life, store these sweet dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks and retain their crunchy texture.
