{has_more=false, offset=3, total=3, results=[{comment_text=Fantastic way to increase nutrient content while still fitting the 'treat' hit too. I added prunes and raisins within the two cups of dates, and blended it up with cocoa once boiled. This way there's no fibre for the kids to notice. I also added a bit more cocoa and baked in muffin trays. Everybody loved them!, approved=true, user_name=Becs Shrubshall, hs_createdate=1702249872780, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11174113847}, {comment_text=Yum, approved=true, user_name=Megan, hs_createdate=1702249861797, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175410944}, {comment_text=I'm terrible at baking, and I ended up with a cake so I'm happy. Had to use a combo of brown sugar and some normal sugar, which still seemed to work, but maybe not as yummy. I love dates and expected it to be more moist or datey than the result, so don't think I'll bake it again. Note - I'm a terrible baker, so others may have more luck with making a yummy cake., approved=true, user_name=Yvette, hs_createdate=1702249859314, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175369756}]}
